Hope you're doing fine. Working on the BOOK. Would you give a writer
I've hired an interview about the state of the things and lack of
cooperation you received when you attacked cheating?

Russ, I can't. Not while i still am trying to make a paycheck with-In
the establishment & i have to face these people every day. You
Understand for sure. As is, some people think i have a better chance
of being found in the desert than even you. MAny fear me coming to any
position of real influence. There is Noone--not even close-- that
speaks of this stuff actively non-stop, person to person, on the
circuit as much as do I. Maybe you know that too, but not near to what
extent .Have you seen the cbsnews--ken adams or the espn-steve
rosenbloom recent articles?
I do believe there are people who Would be willing/able to
interview/speak publicly[there are Many who are pissed off/dropped
'out' of tourney/big cash poker], but i am not in that kind of
position. My role can have a more powerful effect from the Inside,
working constructively, honestly, face to face with the big-time
player/managers/owners , for sure. I've never been a poker outlaw &
don't wish to be perceived as one. Any association with you would
damage my ability/credibility to lobby for legitimate change &
improvement within the current structure. I DO want poker to be
Better.
You Know how i despise cheating. I don't have time to read rgp etc
etc anymore, but i Remind you to remain Accurate in Anything you
publicly say---make SURE you are 100% Certain about anything you
write, otherwise the Credibility of the Truthful/Accurate posts goes
out the window with the bathwater, and you lose the ear of the
respected & powerful whose influence Can help your cause, if they
believe at least some of what you say.
Barry G. approached me the other day to verify his willingness to
have me hold Cash for an apparent match[es] you guys are discussing.
It''s interesting to be trusted by both the celebrated Robinhood/good
Guy And the premier Criminal of the industry, both whom, sadly, have
taken plenty of my money from across the felt.....
Stay healthy. Be Smart. Happy new year.
ps. i assume that writer is not jim mc manus; if so, he's a ringer to
sell 500,000 copies. I expect a free one either way....
_________________________________________________________
The match never happened because Barry wanted to play while a
tournament was going, but not while one wasn't going. Meanwhile, he
was in Seattle 2 weeks ago and a game could have been arranged, but
Barry is always busy
But, as you see, Greenstein does take the match seriously, he just
wants thing his way, Negotitations. I can't take the chance, since I
prefer not to end up in the desert.
And yes, I did post this email without CK's approval.
