I think you guys are missing the major point here. If AP is allowed to get away with covering up this scandal and continue lying to its customers, what do you think will happen if a cheater is caught in the future? You better believe that all the other sites are closely monitoring the AP scandal and if AP gets away unpunished with covering up the allegations and the standard issue denial of all accusations, then we will be sending the message to ALL other poker sites that if a cheater ever gets caught on their site they can just deny all accusations and quietly sweep the incident under the rug!

The way that AP has handled the situation so far was easily predictable. AP will do and say anything they can to avoid admitting that someone/some people compromised the security of their site. Admitting this would be devastating to their image in an industry that is so strongly founded on a trust between the customer and the site. If other poker sites see AP get away with this, they will go the exact same route that AP is trying to take right now.

The only way that we will get AP to admit full responsibility is to put immense pressure on them and the best way to do that is to get this story into the mainstream media all over the country/world. If we don’t do this the integrity and safety of all future online poker gaming will be completely compromised. Cheaters will see that there will be no consequences if they are ever caught because it will be clear that they will be protected by the sites in the interest of self-preservation.
