Absolute Poker Scandal: An Inside Job

[dankhank]

for the most part that press release is completely weak and does nothing to help "resolve" this scandal

[ QUOTE ]

With respect to the claims that Scott Tom, a former Member of Team Absolute Poker, is in anyway involved in wrong-doing, Absolute Poker has requested a formal investigation into that matter as well. Mr. Tom has not been involved with Absolute Poker for over a year and to the best of our knowledge, information and belief has not had access to any of Absolute Poker’s systems, databases or information.

but naming scott tom and making it clear he is not an employee of AP (although it'd be interesting to try and confirm their timeline of "for over a year.") is imo a major step, and in a weird way helps confirm what was mostly circumstantial evidence that scotty is closely tied to the superuser account. i mean weren't people asking just yesterday if the residential cable modem connected to him could be in an AP office somewhere?

i wonder how AP will push the scott tom angle of this. when you think about it, if you were to eventually find out that tom is the main culprit, and he pulled this off from some random costa rican condo after he'd severed ties with the company, wouldn't you be a little less motivated to see AP the poker site reduced to rubble?
