Re: Absolute Cheating
[ QUOTE ]
a lot of things point to seif being involved in this,
[/ QUOTE ]
To clarify, by "a lot of things" you mean "a long-ago blog post that has now been recanted by the author of that post"?
[ QUOTE ]
one of the big reasons a lot of high stakes limit players moved to absolute was that mark seif was routinely dumping huge numbers in those games while simultaneously going off in chat trashtalking people
[/ QUOTE ]
this, of course, is proof of nothing.
[ QUOTE ]
He was the first person ever suspected of using access to players hole cards
[/ QUOTE ]
Why does the date of the accusation have any bearing on the guilt of the accused?
[ QUOTE ]
and now these accounts have popped up at what could reasonably be a financially hard time for seif with the legislation passed and only 1 big cash since his WSOP bracelet.
[/ QUOTE ]
I have had no big cashes since the legislation. Does that make me a potential suspect?
Hell, I have never had a cash bigger than $US5k. Does that make me even more of a potential suspect?
Even if he is having a tough time financially (and, of course, there is no credible evidence that he is) that doesn't create any more evidence that he was scamming people.
[ QUOTE ]
How many people could these accounts really be?
[/ QUOTE ]
I suspect there are:
x many disgruntled ex-employees
y many dodgy current employees
z many hackers across the world who could do this
a many people who accidentally stumbled upon it
b many people with other opportunities that i can't think of off the top of my head.
[ QUOTE ]
Absolute is obviously doing it's best to pretend this never happened
[/ QUOTE ]
LDO.
The sun will also rise tomorrow morning.
[ QUOTE ]
and the accounts are now dumping back money into games trying to act normal, why would any OUTSIDE cheaters/hackers/ex programmers do that when they would expect to be shut down any day?
[/ QUOTE ]
Some hypothetical possibilities:
a) they don't expect to be shut down any day
b) they realise they're not likely to transfer much more money around with so much attention
c) they have stolen so much they don't really care about a few tens of thousands of dollars
d) they are dumping money to discourage further investigation
[ QUOTE ]
That's why i've been saying the owners of AP of which seif is the most high profile, need to be looked into.
[/ QUOTE ]
Of course the owners of AP need to be investigated. There's no reason that this couldn't have been an inside job - but you're unfairly targetting a man with no evidence.
These sorts of seriously defamatory statements - you are accusing this man of running a massive international fraud and theft - deserve evidence before you make them.
If you believe Mark Seif is stealing money (as you seem to be "confident of your opinion") you have a civil duty to report him to your local law enforcement officials. Why have you not done so already? Why are you allowing someone you believe has stolen hundreds of thousands of dollars walk free? Why have you not already called the FBI/Scotland Yard/the AFP/whatever?
[ QUOTE ]
I'll be the first to admit i'm wrong but i'm confident of my opinion.
[/ QUOTE ]
...An opinion with no credible evidence to support it.
It is possible that Mark was involved with this, in the same sense as it is possible, on the basis of what we know, for many other people to have done this.
Using his name, and accusing him of very serious crimes, is entirely unjustified.
on another issue, i just wanted to quote this for absolute poker's (alleged) stupidity:
[ QUOTE ]
Security told me there was no evidence of collusion or improper playing that they could find. Because of the uproar of many people complaining they have shut his accounts..i dont know weather he cashed out or not.
