Default Re: Steve Forte, author of Poker Protection - arrested in NJ

I would tend to believe Steve. He has been to my office a couple of times. He would have too much to lose by participating in a scam. I am hopeful his explanation is true.

But as a professional he hurts his credibility being in the room while a criminal act is taking place, and is an accomplice by the sheer fact that he was witness to a criminal act - an unfortunate situation because my understanding is that Steve is a class act and a true expert in his circles. The more I think about it the more I guess this might have been an online scam. Perhaps the goal was to play a a high-limit player HU with a computer infected with a Trojan horse - allowing them to see the hole cards? at least this theory would match the cryptic statement released by Borgata authorities.

If he was just a witness, will this affect his consulting business? What are the laws in Vegas for gaming consultants with felony charges?
