High-stakes poker player and Internet pseudo-celebrity Dan Bilzerian who last month was caught on video throwing a porn actress off the roof of a house, a fall which broke the latter’s foot, has responded through his lawyer to the possibility of being sued.

TMZ released a letter from Bilzerian’s lawyer to the lawyer of Janice Griffith, the woman who broke her foot. Bilzerian’s lawyer said that his client is not responsible for the injury basically because the stunt was part of a Hustler photo shoot, and that responsibility would lie with the magazine.

Tom Goldstein, Bilzerian’s lawyer, claimed that Griffith grabbed the former’s shirt right before the toss, and thus affected the outcome of the stunt.

The letter, full of snark, also called Griffith a “crass opportunist.”

“If she sues, the complaint will be sanctionably frivolous,” the letter concluded. “Your client should just box up almost every last bit of her property (please exclude all videos and photographs, as well as the seemingly inevitable small yappy dog) and drop it off with you in safe-keeping for Mr. Bilzerian. After he receives the judgement in his favor, he will have it all delivered to him. Then he will probably blow it up with a mortar in the desert.”
