Extract from Doug Austin’s article “Preservation Notice Sent via Twitter by a Lawyer Representing a Poker Pro: eDiscovery Trends”
Yep, that happened. A preservation notice was sent via Twitter by a lawyer representing poker pro Martin Kabrhel regarding defamation claims.
The preservation notice was sent via Twitter by Daniel B. Ravicher to four poker professionals and streaming platform PokerGO regarding allegations that Kabrhel was cheating in poker tournaments by marking cards. The allegations were covered here in an article in the New York Post and also here in an article by the Las Vegas Review-Journal.
Sent at 11:47pm CT on June 20th, the two-paragraph letter in both text and image (available here) opens with the statement: “This firm represents Martin Kabrhel with respect to your false and defamatory statements that he is a cheater and marks cards. The purpose of this letter is not to debate the demerits of your baseless allegations, but rather simply to provide you notice that this firm is preparing to file legal claims on behalf of Mr. Kabrhel against you.”
