WhereDaily News: Judge Dismisses Chad Elie Case Against Jeff Ifrah

WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwired - Feb 21, 2014) - A United States District Court Judge in Nevada dismissed Chad Elie's claim against noted gaming attorney Jeff Ifrah on Monday. Elie had filed a suit against Ifrah Law after being sentenced to five months for his participation in the United States v. Scheinberg case in 2012, dubbed "Black Friday" by the online poker community. Elie, represented by Chattah Law, had made various allegations about Ifrah's advice and actions prior to Black Friday, including the claim that Elie would not have processed payments for Full Tilt, Absolute Poker and PokerStars if Ifrah had not told him the practice was legal. In his order to dismiss, federal judge James C. Mahan said Elie's claims directly contradicted his sworn statements under oath. Under oath, Elie had admitted that he knew his conduct was illegal while he committed the crime, and denied that his criminal conduct was based on the advice of counsel.
