Teddy,

Why not ask PokerStars for their complete HH records for your mum? She surely has a right to them, given the circumstances. We should be able to get to the bottom of this if we had them. I could possibly write a parser to extract start/exit time for each table and see if we can find the 43 hours.

I did exactly that -- maybe my email directly to Lee Jones about this got lost somewhere in this huge thread, but that's precisely what I wrote: just find the 43 hours of HHs, and verify them in detail because if there IS a mistake (which I would stake my entire livelihood on), it lies therein. That IS the smoking gun. I spoke with my mom about this for an hour over the phone last night and went over all of the theories that people here have proposed about what might have happened from Trojans to 3rd party interlopers of which there are NONE -- it was humorous how some people seized upon my brother as a potential culprit...I just mentioned him in passing but he doesn't live with my parents and has nothing to do with this) and the ONE thing that we kept agreeing was "but that still doesn't explain the alleged 43 straight hours of play!!" which NEVER, and I mean, N-E-V-E-R happened.

Teddy,

I've been following this thread and I have one question about the 43 hours straight. Is your mother one of those people, like most of the rest of us, that leaves her computer on constantly and has a high speed connection which is constantly connected to the internet(non dialup connection) or does she turn it off when she isn't using it? I know she probably leaves it on or you would have explored that angle already.
