Default Re: Updated Cliff Notes On Absolute Poker Scandal (18th October)

Dan, since Paul at AP wouldn't clarify for you what he meant when he said that some things in these threads are true, while other parts are completely false, I will do my best. For example, someone wrote:

[ QUOTE ]

1) During a tournament played by cheater 'Potripper,' the person who ended up coming second ("Marco") thought he was cheated. He emailed Absolute, and they sent him a hand history file - an XLS file.


[/ QUOTE ]

Now it's true that a player was cheated, but it's UTTERLY RIDICULOUS AND A COMPLETE FABRICATION to say that it was "Marco" when everyone knows it was "CrazyMarco"!

Furthermore, THERE IS NO SUPERUSER THAT CAN SEE HOLE CARDS! How many times do we have to tell you this? What happens is that there is an account that can remotely log into our mainframe (not through our client--DUH!) and it can see in *plain text* what the hole cards are at the table, but it does NOT actually see the hole cards themselves! Scott Tom uses this account and relays the info to his buddy A.J.

So you see, a lot of this slanderous babble going on is utterly ridiculous and false, and you should feel better knowing the truth now, lol!
