Those are two different states though.

No, Phil is listing two locations.

He's trying to say he's from Canton (Michigan) AND Baltimore, Mayland.

[/ QUOTE ]

Canton is also a neighborhood in Baltimore, so I don't know what to think.

Did you even read my posts?

Before it was proved there was a super-user account, what would you estimate the likelihood of Sief's cheating at?

Now that there is conclusive evidence that such an account exists, that Scott is a likey perp, and we know Scott and Sief are friends, what is your estimate?

I'm guessing you are atticking this emotionally because Sief is a personal aqcuaintance?

Call me slow, but I'm not quite sure how the investing forum account, therx account, or casinomeister account are linked at all. And if they were linked, I'm not following how you're connecting them to Scott Tom.

absolute proof isn't the point. Yes, it's possible tom is not potripper. It's *possible* no cheating has occured.

We know it is etremely, extremely likely that cheating did occur. We know it is very likely Tom is a guilty party. We know it is extremely, extremely likely that Sief is: a poker player, has met Tom, and is friends with Tom.

Given this knowledge, it makes it *more* likely that Sief is guilty of his accused cheating, than it was before we had this knowledge.

This is easily explained by coincidence, the potripper HHs and Doubledrag stats are not so easily dismissed. you have no direct evidence that Seif cheated, we do have concrete evidence that POTRIPPER cheated.

Stop trying to make a round peg fit in a square hole, you have nothing, zilch, nada on seif

[/ QUOTE ]
Of course we have information, and every time we get more, it becomes more likely that Seif may have cheated. Now, I still think that the chance that he did is <50%, but the point is not our estimates, the point is that it's just something to keep in mind (though nowhere near the forefront of the investigation), and there's no reason to get angry about it.

There is a line I like that I may or may not have made up.

"Never assume conspiracy when incompetence is a more likely answer"

Also, as someone who has been around lots of company executives...it seems COMPLETELY realistic that the CEO would have a hole card cam account.

"I just want to get on and watch people play."

Bam, codemonkeys implement it for him, because obviously the CEO would never do something to damage his company.

Then it sits idle for a long time and at some point down the road - he lets someone use it/uses it himself for whatever reason because 'omg noone will ever notice' and it gets more and more blatant until 'we' finally pick up on it.

If this is true, absolute will totally stonewall, more information coming out can never be good for them if ownership/executives were really involved.

STOP TRYING TO LINK SEIF TO THIS RIGHT NOW JEBUS

yeah we all know it's shady, but who cares, we may well have mass media reps checking this thread and we don't need to massively confuse everyone not in the know.

take it to another thread or wait until we have proof (because we all know absolute probably emailed a video of him gloating out to 17 strangers by accident)

Scott's Myspace username is "puremoney7".

No Google results come up for "puremoney7", but a number do for "puremoney" in terms of usernames.

There's a guy from Norway interested in shady online business (with a picture, it's not Scott); there's this other guy who posts in Investing (see President of Internet company), Sportsbetting, and related sites; and then a few miscellaneous ones.

I followed the "puremoney" from those couple sites and found a post where someone outed him as "iamkidpoker" from a different website after he talked about people "not knowing who [he] is."

Then I searched around for "iamkidpoker" and came up with the Casinomeister page.

It's tenuous, but there's an awful lot of coincidences.

However, it may be absolutely nothing but just that.
