Mike Postle and VerStandig may have reached a settlement in the cheating scandal Postle is embroiled in. VerStandig has requested an extension to communicate the terms to all 88 plaintiffs he represents.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Postle and Plaintiffs May Have Reached a Settlement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The saga between Mike Postle<\/strong> and 88 plaintiffs<\/strong> accusing him of cheating in low-stake live games has finally come closer to an end with an agreement between all affected parties now being hammered. If Postle cheated, though, still remains an unanswered question. After drawing the ire of the community, Postle faced a long list of accusations as well as a long list of accusers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, Mac VerStandig<\/strong>, the veteran gaming attorney who represents the plaintiffs, has managed to work out a deal. On August 5<\/strong>, VerStandig filed for an extension in the case, arguing that an agreement had been reached but that more time was needed to establish the terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the broader public, though, those terms remain a mystery. The original complaint was first dismissed back in June by Judge William B. Shubb<\/strong> from the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, VerStandig didn\u2019t give up on the case nor did he disappoint the people who had entrusted him with the case. Commenting on the most recent development, VerStandig had this to say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCounsel for the parties have reached an agreement as to the principal terms of a settlement of this case, but require additional time to finalize the settlement.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

VerStandig now has to communicate the terms of the settlement with each of the 88 plaintiffs individually and make sure that they understand, acknowledge and agree to the terms for the settlement to go through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
