Repost from another forum:
Dear Mr. xxxxxxxx,
Thank you for contacting us.
We have been following the forums closely and are aware of your concern.
First, we’d like to assure you that a ‘super-user’ account does not exist. Absolute Poker was created by poker players who value security and fair play. The backend of the Absolute Poker software makes it impossible for such an account to function. Our game client only receives data regarding an individual’s hand and no other player hole cards are ever visible – by anyone – except in the event of a showdown.
We have temporarily frozen the accounts of the players in question while we continue our extensive investigation. At this point, we have found no evidence of wrongdoing. However, given the seriousness of these allegations, our investigation will go on.
Our fraud department has combed through all hands involving the accounts that were mentioned in the online forum. Please note that the examples mentioned in the forum present only a small snapshot of each player’s activity. Our ongoing investigation continues to show that the long-term success rates of these players aren’t in line with what the forum suggests.
Fair play and security are as important to Absolute Poker management and staff as they are to our players. Our fraud department is dedicated to ensuring that everyone on the site has a fair opportunity to win. We stand by the results of our random number generator and we take great pride in
our game client security.
Absolute Poker remains a 100% secure place to play. We value all of our players and we will continue to provide our community with a safe, secure and exciting online poker experience.
Thank you, once again, for your email. If we can be of any other assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Thanks for playing at Absolute Poker!
Sincerely,
Alexa
Well no [censored] the long term results don't pan out. That's the whole point. These players were big losers until they learned how to cheat!
Is Absolute seriously examining hands from months ago?
WTF.

It sounds like THIS is exactly where the disconnect in thinking between Absolute's staff and the players is. We have GOT to send them some emails telling them:
A. The fact the alleged cheating started approximately the same time as the 8.0 software update, thus the theory of a software security leak or installed backdoor.
B. That the "cheating" sessions and "chip dumping" sessions are TWO SEPERATE ISSUES, and the results for them cannot be combined.
Assuming Absolute is ignorant of A and B, it's easy to see why they have so far found nothing wrong.
