Postle Hit With Two Motions to Strike, Dropped by Lawyers

The latest legal updates in the Mike Postle story aren't looking rosy for the alleged poker cheat.

For one thing, he's been hit with two motions to strike his complaints in California courts, by defendants in his lawsuit alleging defamation and seeking hundreds of millions in damages (Disclosure: PokerNews was also a named party in the suit). If the courts grant the motions, Postle could be on the hook for paying a heap in legal fees.

Speaking of legal fees, Postle may also have his own to worry about. That's because his lawyers from the initial filing, which took place back in October, have succeeded in dropping him as a client, according to Todd Witteles.
