Everyone from Daniel Negreanu to Dan O’Brien to the poker media has weighed in on the controversial interview he gave to PokerNews.
While only two parts of the series have been released, people have already formed pretty steadfast opinions and at this point it appears very few people are rushing back to Team Lederer.
Here’s a look at some of the better Tweets on the subject with thoughts from Matt Keikoan, Brian Balsbaugh, Wicked Chops and even fake Howard Lederer.
Part 2 of #ledererfiles, I'm thinking "does Howard know anything about the inner workings of FT?" he talks as if he doesn't.
— Matthew Keikoan (@MattKeikoan) September 18, 2012certainly looks like #howardlederer will be throwing everyone under the bus in these interviews. #ledererfiles #scum @pokernews @kevmath
— Stephen (@HickeyYYT) September 18, 2012I wonder how different the #LedererFiles would have been if interview took place after DOJ filed amended complaint?
— onlinepokerreport (@OPReport) September 17, 2012Let's let the whole interview with Howard Lederer play out before we start critiquing what is or isn't there.
— Lance Bradley (@Lance_Bradley) September 18, 2012I'd advise poker players to be very critical of the Lederer interview. He's a smart guy. He's going to make you want to believe him
— Dan O'Brien (@DanOBrienPoker) September 18, 2012One hour into the Lederer interview, so far zero apologies and zero admittance of any wrong doing on his part. Exactly what I expected.
— Daniel Negreanu (@RealKidPoker) September 18, 2012Things I've learned about Howard Lederer: He's not a financial guy, he's not an accountant.
— Kevin Mathers (@Kevmath) September 18, 2012Would love to see @navarrotells analyse the PokerNews videos of Howard Lederer and share his thoughts on his body language
— Barry Carter (@Barry_Carter) September 18, 2012The book on Ray Bitar in the industry was that he was an incompetent boob, but was bulletproof bc he had Chris & Howard's total backing.
— Brian Balsbaugh (@Balsbaugh) September 18, 2012HL: "I am one person in what was a very complicated situation. I don't have all the answers and all the facts." Fine-but you know the most.
— Wicked Chops Poker (@wickedchops) September 18, 2012“@pokerfuse: Part 2 of The Lederer Files 30:00 mark: "My greatest regret in all of this..." I bought the house in Malibu not in Hamptons
— howard lederer (@HowardFLederer) September 18, 2012What Lederer says about there not being a great culture of fund segregation back then does sound genuine. Probably the case until April 14.
— Marco Valerio (@AgentMarco) September 18, 2012Wasn't his department. #ledereranswers
— Chris Moneymaker (@CMONEYMAKER) September 18, 2012Any old people will remember the tv show Hogan's Heroes. Howard reminds me of the character Schultz- "I know nothing, I see nothing"
