Slightly OT:
I read that AP owns UB, but does this mean UB could be compromised as well? The software is different, but how safe should UB players be feeling in light of this scandal? I have some money on UB, so I'm a bit concerned.

Absolute owns UB. One thing to bear in mind here about the sale of UB to Absolute... UB was a public company on the AIM exchange under the parent company Excapsa (ticker XCP). They "sold" all of their assets to Absolute in order to be taken private so that they could continue to operate in the US. British public companies (PartyPoker) cannot operate in the US. As far as I am concerned, the purchase was nothing more than creative bookkeeping to keep them in the US and they are still functionally separate entities.
