A friend of mine related a story from the 2006 WSOP where another of his pals was playing a tourney with a UB guy. They got chatting and went on break to dinner together. UB guy asked to borrow the friend's laptop to check up on somebody in a UB tourney.

When the UB dude logged in to the site, all the hole cards were revealed while they watched. UB dude logged off after finding what he was looking for.

The friend didn't know who the UB guy was and didn't see him after he busted out later that evening.

I dismissed it as BS at the time until all of this came up. Couldn't see the rationale behind some random dude at the WSOP borrowing somebody's laptop and revealing that sort of of power to a relative stranger in that setting.

So.... pfffft. Now I don't know what to make of the story.

Follow this up, please. My own wildly speculative theory is that these accounts may have existed for some time, MAY have been used to "responsibly skim" money by some and Potripper was a wasted/drunk/high/egomaniac, and that's why he was so friggin obvious.
