http://www.gambling911.com/Absolute-Poker-102307B.html

Can someone explain to me how gambling911.com can be such an inept journalistic source? Set aside their grammar and spelling mistakes in all of their articles. First members of their site are seen in pictures with AJ Green, and then their articles include little tidbits information of info like, "AJ, who has a fondness for mushrooms (not the kind you eat), is probably wishing at this point he was tripping out real bad." Really? Their website is more comedy than it is journalism.

Something a little suspicious, although it's prob not important:

The cybersquatting ruling says that AJ was the owner of the impreshun.com domain name. Well, the whois info for that domain shows that it was re-registered just 2 days ago (roughly the same time the cybersquatting link first appeared in these threads) by an anonymous domain registrar. Is there any way of finding out what the whois info was for this domain 3 days ago? (e.g. before it was re-registered anonymously)

A little background on AP's outsourcing of security and technology services:

2004: Interactive Gaming Security Network provided a third party audit and "managed security solutions" to Absolute.
http://gambling.co.uk/news/gambling-...xperience.html
(see bottom of press release)

retired IGSN website
http://web.archive.org/web/200608051...tp://igsn.com/

2006: Arizona Bay (IGSN's parent company) is retained to provide "a rapid development and deployment of technology and human infrastructure to support Absolute Poker’s rapid growth objectives."
http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/5/prweb384543.htm

http://www.arizonabay.com/about/

Arizona Bay is run by the former CEO and President of Neteller, Gordon Herman and one of Neteller's founders Jeff Natland.

Last year Natland covered his Ferrari F430 with Absolute branding for a promotional cross country car rally. This idea came up while "getting drunk" with Absolute senior management.
http://www.bluffmagazine.com/magazin...6/june/066.asp


As of last year, Arizona Bay's, Senior Consultant, Curtis Olson was acting as Absolute's Vice President of Technology.

Cliff Notes:
Company run by Ex-Neteller execs audited and then managed AP's security in 04.
In 06 engaged to provide additional technology services including installing their consultant as VP of Technology for AP.
Management of both organizations were drinking buddies.
Since last summer, Arizona Bay has carefully tried to minimize their association with Absolute.

I understand that misterwolf has two posts and this hurts his credibility, but it was surprising that these links did not generate more discussion. This Curtis Olson is listed as a consultant who is also the VP of Technology at Absolute Poker. Does this not sound like the type of person who could cheat but would not know how to do so undetected? Absolute also said it was a consultant with high level access who perpetrated this crime. Mr. Olson and AP are also listed as being located at a PO Box in Miami by ZoomInfo:
http://www.zoominfo.com/Search/Perso...onID=989550128

Should this not bear further digging? It is possible that this person is the culprit, complicit, a fall guy, or a bystander.

Professional Liar: How much do you have?
Chief: $25000000000000000000000000000
Professional Liar: Ship it!!!!!!!!!!
