Default Re: AP, rigged, etc. #8981.4 - the plot thickens

Rika,

"(p.s. this goes for tons of pokersites but NOT pokerstars, that's why I'm so thankful they insured our money at a legit bank, A+ job stars, way to be a step above everyone else)"

While I have no reason to doubt PokerStars claims on this issue, pretty much any poker site can claim they do this. And even if they actually do, there's probably nothing to stop them from accessing that money.

True, anyone could claim that. To prevent unauthorized access, the site could certainly have procedures in place with their bank that require signed and vocal authorization from 1-2 key people for all withdrawals, all > some size, or per day, etc.
Not that that eliminates fraud either, but it's a big step.
