You've got it backwards. The burden of proof is on AP at this point. They need to prove to us that there WASN'T cheating before all this, or we should assume that there was. You'd be a [censored] fool not to.

Wtf, this isn't right at all.

I hate AP as much as the next guy but they are still innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The fact that they don't save their hand histories by itself is just more shady doings from Absolute, but hardly proof that cheating was going on before this. I do think there is a good chance that cheating WAS going on previous to this scandal, and the fact that they're deleting hand histories only adds to the suspicion, but it's still not enough to prove anything, period.

from a legal perspective, sure. as a business that would like to continue having customers, the burden is clearly on them to prove convincingly that there wasn't cheating or that, if there was, its been resolved and won't happen again.
of course this won't happen because its abundantly obvious that there was cheating, that they know it, and that they're doing a stunningly terrible job of resolving the problem.
