Re: We win (AP Scandal v. 27)
[ QUOTE ]
A company statement sent out to the public was expected by late afternoon Friday. [/ QUOTE ] So I guess AP uses Pony Express to send out their statements? It still doesn't make sense that AP was not aware of this problem a long time ago. If they were, then they were in some sense "in on it", and if they really weren't aware of it, then all I can say is: WORST SECURITY TEAM EVER! Edit: A single person who knows how to use Poker Tracker that is a part-time employee in charge of security would have noticed this a long time ago. As it stands, they probably would have NEVER noticed it (or covered it up?) had it not been pointed out to them. |

Re: We win (AP Scandal v. 27)
I've been living in a cave for the past month and I just am readin about this Absolute scandle today. Obviously I have not read every single thread, but I've read all the cliff notes and posts from the major players.
The following is conjecture on my part but I feel is a pretty accurate description of the current situation: 1. There is/was an organized cheating ring inside Absolute, run by the Absolute bigwigs and their cronies. 2. A large portion of the company probably didn't know about this cheating ring. 3. Being typical greedy idiots, they cheat in very obvious ways and are noticed. 4. Upon being reported, Absolute probably writes off the claims as sore losers, like 99.99% of every "cheating" claims. These people are probably not aware of the organized cheating ring, thus the initial denials. 5. Either through internal whistle blowing or most likely a really lucky break, the hand history file pretty much proves the cheating. 6. Absolute is confused and begins to research. They eventually forced to find out there was this cancerous cheating cell internal to them. 7. Absolute will go into full damage control, both simultaneously trying to appease the players/media, but also not implicating the big wigs who were actually cheating. They will not come fully clean. |

I don't doubt that they have been lying. There's no chance I'm personally playing at AP again. [/ QUOTE ] Aha. I misinterpreted "forgive and forget," particularly since I was talking about the people who are saying they would play there again. |

Re: We win (AP Scandal v. 27)
The best time to make a press release providing negative or disparaging information is late on a Friday afternoon. Less people read the paper, pay attention to the news media on the weekend etc. Its PR 101.
Expect this thing to be released around 5pm or after Eastern Standard Time. |

Re: We win (AP Scandal v. 27)
Can you guys do some kind of cliffs note thread? I have read probably 10 different threads with 15k different posts in the last few weeks and knowing where we are right now is difficult with how ongoing this dialog is.
