Lawyers Looking To Sue CSGO Scammers

It didn't take long for this to happen. It looks like the boys behind CSGOLotto should take some of their ill-gotten gains and lawyer up because the wagons are circling. You know when lawyers say stuff like "if my firm doesn’t lead that litigation, another firm will,” things are about to get real bad.

Esports lawyers Ryan Morrison, Bryce Clum, and Jeff Ifrah recently ran an AMA on Reddit welcoming questions about the betting scandal. It was here that Morrison – who also goes by the handle VideoGameAttorney – admitted that he’s already received 75 emails from individuals personally wanting to sue Martin. “I think [civil lawsuits are definite], as I’ve received over 75 emails from people wanting to sue TmarTn specifically (they are in his videos, losing to him),” Morrison wrote. “They used to think it was a cool video to have. Now it’s proof of fraud (in their minds). So if my firm doesn’t lead that litigation, another firm will.”

So, any guesses on whether or not these two morons structured this company in way to protect themselves?

Any decent group of lawyers will likely be able to pierce the corporate veil if they didn't - that's assuming they formed an official company for the website.

Hmm. Maybe they can try the Hulk Hogan defense - that TmarTn and ProSyndicate are characters and separate from the corporate officers.

They are going to make an example out of these two they are F***** either way.

There's no case to be made. If the site truly functioned and paid out prizes as advertised, then there's no fraud and all the losers seeking damages should only receive a tube of Preparation-H for their butthurt. They should be more worried about possible violations of Federal law regarding gambling or games of chance as well as having the IRS up their arses looking for tax evasion.


If the site wasn't paying out honestly though, then they're very, very screwed.

It's not just that though. They produced advertisements, videos on Youtube, that did not reveal they were paid advertisements and that they were not merely affiliated with the company, but owned it. That gets them a visit from the FTC for fraudulent advertising at the very least. They thought they could gamble on Youtubers being idiots, and it paid in spades until someone dug into the company's paperwork and found out they owned the company. Now it has blown up in their faces and you can be sure that even if this suit falls, the FTC will get involved as there was a heck of a lot of money involved. That they may have very easily manipulated their results in their ad videos is just another nail in the coffin that is the case against them.
