Friend of 2+2 John Mehaffey got a cease-and-desist letter from the attorney for a Bennett Dierckman. According to John, Dierckman violated the t&c of his website and John tweeted about it.

I like how they always call someone a pro poker player because he had a total of around $50K in tournament cashes. He wagered $148 million at one casino. LeForbes could be a lifetime loser at poker. Why not call him a recreational poker player
