They are insistent that it is not possible for any account that has this ability and no way for anyone to receive other players' hole cards during a hand.

It is impossible to know this. Even if AP tested all accounts manually, they still can't be 100% sure a superuser account exists.
Maybe a super-user accounts behaves and looks like a normal account, until you modify its settings.

3) At least part of these investigations will be conducted by representatives of the online poker community, possibly including representatives of PocketFives.com, 2+2, and/or Bluff Magazine.

Investigate what? All source code, which is usually badly annotated? Good luck understanding the inner workings of the code? All compiled code? All user-accounts? All test-accounts? Investigate my azz.

The only smoking guns are the Potripper account, and account 363. The Potripper account is prolly a regular account, so nothing to find there. And account 363 SHOULD be deleted/modified to a regular account => nothing to find there too. So the investigation will clear AP for sure!

They believe they can prove that it's not possible to do what people are alleging, as well as that it was never possible in their system.

How? Please teach me something about programming, security, reverse-engineering, servers and databases I don't know!

It is often possible to prove that something exists. It is not possible to prove that something doesn't exist. Esp in this case.

5) They weren't able to talk about account 363 at all. Their stated reason for this was that they haven't finished altering the account, and clearing its database transaction history.
