Default Mark Seif\'s Role in the Absolute Godmode Scandal

Mark Seif is a large shareholder of Absolute Poker as well as one of it's two star players along with michael mizrachi.

Last February Mark was basically accused of playing in such a way that he made it obvious to his opponent that he was looking at their cards

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...age=1&vc=1

This whole story seemed like a conspiracy theory until the story about AP "godmode" accounts destroying games, cliffnotes below provided by Imsakidd

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showfl...e=0&fpart=1

Mark Seif is known as a huge loser in these games, and in most games in fact. He must have some involvement or knowledge of the accounts and how they work, the point is Mark Seif needs to be held accountable and provide information about this scandal.

His residence is listed as incline valley NV, but i've seen him in the last few months in henderson nv. His vanity nevada license plate is UNSEIF so if someone has a 9-5 job as a PI maybe we can find out his information regarding his past and his current assosciation with AP and it's other owners

it'll be virtually impossible to find "graycat" or any of the other guys, but seif is a public figure, allegedly a former DA. This is a really big story if we can acquire hand histories of seif's session because it can be mathematically proven he was playing with complete knowledge of his opponents hole cards.

The type of person that would attempt something like this would have to be an extremely bold but somewhat ignorant person with a narcism that would feed heavily on the feeling he was dominating others and causing them pain. From everything i've seen of seif on tv (USPC, WSOP, ect.) this guy just thrives on defeating people and taking their money, what better way to do that then to buy a share in a website, dump tons of money to attract high stakes games, and then plunder those games by using other accounts nobody knows about to periodically login and thrash people, feeding his addiction to winning.

This could really be the biggest story in gambling cheating in a decade or more.

It would be so hard to conclusively prove his involvment in this scandal. Online gabmling is illegal in the U.S., so who would want to testify. Plus, AP is located outside of the U.S., which creates even more problems.

It would be nice to see the people behind this caught, I just don't think it's realistic.

read the link about seif saying before he ran over the player in feb of 06 something along the lines of "i'm ready to destroy you now" after leaving for 2-3 minutes and then crushing heads up playing almost exactly like the 3 unknown "god" account. aparently open folding when his opponent flopped a full house in a capped PF pot.

this has to be proven obviously but given the current developments it becomes essentially believable.
