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

[apefish]

Suzzer.

I've backed away from that for now. There is a four year gap in the frat join dates- and while that doesnt preclude them knowing each other- we have no way of knowing if the william mcmahon listed is the one in the Hendon Mob base, nor any reason at this point I guess to suspect it would be the winning account.

There are McBill's active at Pokerstars and Full Tilt. If anyone knows those players- perhaps they could get him to confirm/deny he is the winner at Absolute which would help obviously.

That said I will be gone for long stretches of the day so I'm glad I at least threw it out there.

EDIT:
Suzzer- it was that release and the existence of clear winning McBill's on other sites that brought me to a dead halt on even looking further.

Doing some Googling for news on this (a number of hits now) I ran across this item. Wouldn't have thought twice but considering what's been going on and the Montana connection, I thought this was interesting.

MONTANA ONLINE POKER PLAYER STRIKES GOLD IN ABSOLUTE DREAM PACKAGE

No more big tourney buy-in worries for MCBill....

Montana resident and online poker player "MCBill" probably feels like he's struck gold this week after winning access to a possible over $100 million in online poker tournament prize pool money. Absolute Poker revealed that the online poker player hailing from Helena, Montana has won the 5th Absolute Dream Package on October 7th.

Note: Not implying anything here. Just an interesting news item.

Okay. I wasn't going to post this earlier. But I think it's worth at least a mention.

There is a william willis mcmahon listed in Scott's frat buddies.

There is a william/willy mcmahon that cross references to the hendon mob database. I have no idea if this connects at all. He is listed out of Atlantic City in that db.
I went looking thru all the frat buddies hours ago for any connections like that and sat on it because it (still) has no real meaning.

But that screen name and real name suddenly looks a tad strange with that DB and big win at AP doesn't it?

can anyone dig further into that?


fwiw- in the frat records mcmahon is listed as being from missoula.
Also- an apparent new account at Absolute.

Wow, these bombshells just keep on coming dont they. i understand this could be a coincidence, but it just shows how unless AP start clarifying things and accepting that theres a problem, any little suspicion will be taken out of context, and rightly so, we shouldnt give them any breathing room at all, and everything that arouses any suspicion (such as this mcbill user) should be scrutinized, especially given their lack of respect for everyone involved.


Been said many times already but big thanks/respect to everyone putting this "case" together. Keep digging.

I'm off to bed now, so I expect some major development when i wake up in about 7 hours time.

In the meantime, please minimise the crap speculation.

What's interesting about that hand? Potripper had been playing like a maniac, he has two overs, a gutshot and FE, a shove really isn't that bad.

Woah who is POTROAST??

Somone look into this now, POTROAST,POTCHIPPER, and POTRIPPER. Looks like a connection to me.

you have top pair against the guy playing and winning every hand through aggression, you have to make a stand.

although i do find it odd they were in the same tourney with very similar names.
