Mike Postle’s legal troubles continue. Just months after Veronica Brill and Todd Witteles won anti-SLAPP judgments against Postle in connection with his frivolous $330 million defamation lawsuit against them, the two have filed a joint involuntary bankruptcy petition against him, Cards Chat News reported. The petition, filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Colorado, cites Postle as its target under federal chapter 7. In May and June, respectively, Witteles and Brill each won their claims that Postle’s lawsuit against them was an unlawful attempt to stifle their First Amendment right to free speech, and he was thus liable for their legal bills. Presiding judge Shama H. Mesiwala awarded Witteles $26,982 and Brill $27,745. Postle reportedly has not responded to requests for payment from Witteles’s attorney, Eric Bensamochan, nor from Brill’s counsel, Marc J. Randazza. Postle may already be on the hook for more than the $54,727 combined that he owes to Postle. He has also been sued by Wells Fargo Bank and Discover Bank for another $13,700 combined in what appears to be unpaid credit-card debt.
