b) the other gaming companies (over 100?) using Kahawake's servers - with a question attached: Could this happen at your site?

This is very misleading. MIT is just a data center. Their customers likely own the majority of the servers there. The fact that MIT exists is a good thing for US poker players.

I'm going to make this as clear as I can.
Absolute Poker by their own statements- as well as Ultimate bet are owned by Tokwiro Enterprises.
Tokwiro Enterprises is founded/owned/controlled in some way by its founder Grand Chief Joseph Tokwiro Norton.
Norton coincidentally is praised by his community for FOUNDING the MIT campus from which the servers are hosted.

AP- owned by Tokwiro. Tokwiro directly related to the server farm. Which "customers" of theirs are we referring to?

They are auditing their own business It doesn't matter that it's "the commission" instead of actually AP doing it in this instance.

The bolded part is where you overstate your case.

The auditing firm has close ties with Norton, and the Mohawk Licensing commission.

Saying anything else is making assumptions that aren't yet supported by facts as we know them.

Yes, it looks like an incestuous swamp, and I'm very skeptical of the audit, but saying that they are auditing themselves is unfair and incorrect according to any fair reading of the facts.

The work everyone here has done is amazing. I'm just hoping it remains more credible and less hysterical.
