Moneymaker Effect: Poker Champ to Assist in Lawsuit Against PayPal

Chris Moneymaker isn't a plaintiff in a lawsuit against PayPal, but he could play a key role in assisting Poker League of Nations (PLON) founder Lena Evans in retrieving nearly $27,000 in confiscated funds from the online payment processing giant.

The 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event champion's PayPal account was frozen and then terminated due to User Agreement (also referred to as Terms of Service) violations back in May 2021. He had over $12,000 in his account balance at the time, money that was initially confiscated by PayPal.
