Default Re: Absolute Poker Scandal: An Inside Job

AB timeline;

Is this accurate;

1. Start a poker site, spam internet user forum pretending to be someone else.

2. Hire props to play for your fledgling site, rip them off or cheat them so they they are working for you for free.

3. Get affiliate program going, change terms and rules so you can basically get off without paying affiliates as well.

4. Sign players for guaranteed endorsement contracts, cancel said contracts to avoid continuing to pay the players.

5. Start a guaranteed payout tournament, cheat said tournament.

6. Cheat high stakes cash games.

7. Profit.


These guys are definitely revolutionizing the poker site business model. I wonder if FT or PS has thought of this.
