Alleged poker cheat Mike Postle has listed his mother as his biggest creditor as he fights to avoid bankruptcy. Among twenty-five companies and people he claims to owe, more than $80k of the $270k+ total are loans from his own mum.
The incredible revelation comes as Postle faces potential bankruptcy over the $55k debt he owes to Veronica Brill and Todd Witteles , following their successful legal challenge for expenses after Postle withdrew his libel lawsuit.

Postle’s focus was on the GoFundMe campaign that Brill launched to raise the legal fees to fight Postle’s now-dead $330million libel lawsuit .
The entry of $27,745 owed to Randazza’s law firm on Postle’s updated creditor list notes: “These attorney fees were raised and collected through a GoFundMe that was put together by his client [Brill], sneakily with a previously unknown member of his firm as the beneficiary. The firm is attempting to be paid twice on this debt.” As […]
