Re: A Seif Bet - for those who still believe a word he, or AP, says

It is extremely rare to be put in the situation he has been put in. It could've made him a hero. The players champion who helped take down a corrupt cheating ring.

If nothing else, this unfortunate turn of events for Absolute Poker, and online poker as a whole, will prove Mr. Seif's myopia.
Instead of emerging as "The Player's Champion, Friend of the Poker Community" he played himself into a situation where his integrity and reputation was justifiably dragged through the mud.
He may very well have sacrificed lucrative endorsement deals from competing sites wanting to associate themselves with "a leader of the online poker community and a bastion of good faith and honesty" for a quick grab at some easy cash.
He is no better at assessing opportunity and risk in life than he was assessing opportunity and risk on "the river".
In a decade from now look out for him looking unfit and disheveled, hawking sun tanning parlors in strip malls around the far Northern regions of Canada, alongside the embalmed corpse of former child-star Gary Coleman.
