If AJ was involved then there HAS to be more than one person involved. The person who wrote or knew the software change made the hole cards available and the person he(or she) told that it was there(AJ) [/ QUOTE ] Remember this from the chat session Mark Seif sent out?: Mark Seif says (10:47 PM): well as you probably know the ap scandal is much bigger and worse than any one would have guessed AP Support Guy says (10:47 PM): [censored]. . . tell me about it AP Support Guy says (10:47 PM): so [censored] stupid Mark Seif says (10:47 PM): its so unbelievable the stuff i am hearing and readinhg Mark Seif says (10:47 PM): so [censored] stupid! Mark Seif says (10:47 PM): i totally agree Mark Seif says (10:47 PM): disgussting actually AP Support Guy says (10:47 PM): everything we've worked for AP Support Guy says (10:47 PM): disgusting is the right word AP Support Guy says (10:48 PM): everything being demolished by a couple of stuipid and ignorant maniacs Mark Seif says (10:48 PM): well my name and reputation has been dragged through the mud pretty badly Mark Seif says (10:48 PM): people think i was involved AP Support Guy says (10:48 PM): well AP Support Guy says (10:49 PM): i've been reading the stuff on forums (link here) This has been mentioned before (at the time, in fact) but I've never seen an explanation of how the employee is referring to a couple of people, and Seif doesn't correct him, when they were still (and are still) blaming one person. Sorry if I've missed this, but I believe I've read all the posts. What are they actually talking about here? It could be that they are talking about the people here at 2p2, I suppose, but that isn't how it reads. They refer to the scandal, say it's huge, then put it down to a couple of people. That's how it reads to me. Has this been addressed anywhere? |

Re: Latest AP press release
Movie plotline: Matt Damon's Rounders character falls on hard times and is relegated to play online poker only. Learns a lot about computer networking, internet etc. Makes the case for an online poker company that has been cheating their customers. Writes a book and a screenplay, Ben Affleck plays his character. Damon gets enough money from his part in the successful movie to enter the WSOP and wins! Fade away as you see a headline, Absolute Poker going strong, years after disgrace.

Re: Latest AP press release
Why has AP insisted that Nat sign an NDA saying he cannot reveal who was using account #363? WTF?
Is it possibly anything to do with the fact that account 363 was being used from Scott Tom's home IP address...? The cover-up has become worse than the offence. Deleted hand histories, press releases so full of lies they hurt your eyes to read, and all because AP is still protecting the people (yes, plural) who, it claims, swindled the company out of $1.6m. Bullsh*t. (BTW, Nat - any information you had already heard, from any source, whether you knew it to be correct or not at the time, is NOT covered by the NDA.) |

Re: Latest AP press release
I really doubt ESPN is going to say anything on this partly due to the large number of Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet ads they have running.

Re: Latest AP press release
In regards to the HHs that supposedly "can't be found" - I emailed Absolute back in September, along with a few other poker sites, asking for their data retention policy. Someone from support assured me that they have a backup of all the hands I ever played on their servers (although I don't actually plan on playing there - I was just enquiring about their data retention).
In saying that, I know that HHs do actually cost a lot of money and resources to store (one of the reasons why I was asking about data retention in the first place) - it's not as simple as saying 500GB HDs only cost $100 so everyones HHs should fit on $2000 worth of hardware (or whatever low amount). The actual cost is more than 100x this amount. PM me if you want more details. ----------------- Dear XX, Thank you for your feedback.

Re: Latest AP press release
"PokerNews acknowledged Green's possible involvement after Green was mentioned by former AP spokesman Mark Seif in connection with "hole cards" and the AP situation in a video that appeared on another site."
I must have missed a thread somewhere...he walked or got the axe? |

Re: Latest AP press release
i feel so much better knowing that they fired the person responsible
what a joke im pretty sure that most people and corporations would think that stealing nearly a million dollars from loyal innocent customers should require a punishment slightly more harsh then firing the 'employee' but maybe im weird (ok i know im weird... but still) imagine if it was little old me that somehow was able to view the hole cards... not an employee... not affiliated with them in any way shape or form... imagine if i, some random online player, somehow cheated customers out of $800,000 and got caught... i guess they would just ban my account and leave it alone past that? yeah right... im sure id be sitting in jail right now this statement is just another in a series of very convenient truths feels like they carefully took note of what the community knew... and proceeded to weave the 'truth' around that information.... well played AP... NH hopefully soon they make the same bluff and run head first into the nuts |

[/ QUOTE ] LuckyMux, I appreciate your efforts in this whole thing, but I am bothered by your lacking of reading comprehension here. That is not what I said about #363. It has nothing to do with who was using it or what the name was on the account, but simply which account name was connected to #363. Please be more careful in the future about stuff like this. -Nat |
