1ShackES and GamersLatino are reporting that some recent CPL winners are considering filing a lawsuit against CPL. Apparently they didnt realize the tax man gets a cut of their winnings and they want to sue CPL for not notifying them of common law.

First: Try to understand what it´s been said.
Second: Try again because you couldn't understand the first time.
Third: Give up, because you can´t understand and don´t make stupid comments...

What I have to say is:
Following Brazil's Law, CPL LA does NOT have the right to charge this 30% tax, since it is NOT A REGISTERED COMPANY(trademark). EVEN, if it WERE, this tax does NOT apply to this kind of Event, because it applies to competitions that depend on luck like lotteries and stuff.
One more thing:
I don't think the whole organization in guilty, but I am pretty sure that LEO DE BIASE(president) is the main problem there!
Munoz, do you remember my e-mail sent to you a few days before the event start ? I warned you !
Thanks for your attention,

They should have to pay double taxes and the extra money should be used to find a cure for the retardation they suffer from.

- Should the CPL have mentioned tax liabilities in the "fine print"?
Probably. I don't recall ever seeing any contests that didn't. There is *always* lots of fine print. However, see next question.
- Is the CPL *legally* obliged to mention the tax liabilities of the winners?
I don't know. I guess we'll find out, won't we?
- Does that absolve the winners from said tax liability?
Absolutely not.
Again, I reassert my opinion that if you aren't aware of basic tax laws such as gift and prize taxes, you may not be prepared (by your own ignorance, indifference, laziness, or otherwise fault) for entering high-stakes competition. There are certain responsibilities that come inherently - there's no such thing as a free lunch. Or any other applicable cliche you may have on your mind.

i'm sure there's a misunderstanding, the problem is NOT the taxes that we have to pay every day, but some organizers that doesn't care about players here in brazil. some people intended to fill a lawsuit before this 30% incident happened, we only want a ORGANIZED tourney.

ungrateful bastards. I wouldn't be bitching if I won some money and the Govt took half of it. At least they GOT SOMETHING.
