Portelli’s legal team claims Michaels’ public statements severely damaged his reputation, even triggering death threats, while the company faced a $40K fine for illegal lotteries — though Portelli himself was acquitted. The case is ongoing, with Portelli’s team insisting the courtroom will speak for itself. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
