Absolute Poker Scandal: An Inside Job

[nycballer]

why does them going through with an audit matter at all? If the audit turns up nothing, we know they would have wiped evidence from their system before the audit commenced.

If the audit turns up nothing(99.9% chance obv otherwise they wouldnt do it), it changes nothing, we still know they cheated.

If anything this audit is a bad development because an audit showing Absolute as "clean" would give their denials more legitimacy when we have already proved they are BS

Anyone who doubts the story should read those hand histories - they're very damning.

The part of this whole thing that really makes me scratch my head is how Marco got this scrambled excel file/master HH list to begin with. I'm basing this off the assumption that this was NOT the standard file sent out when you request the tourney HH's, but that the mistake has coincidentally been made before.

The general consensus is that someone was fed-up and decided to blow the whole thing open. It's perfectly realistic I suppose but it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Possible idea based purely on speculation/imagination:

The higher-ups at absolute knew exactly what happened in the infamous tourney but didn't want the min-wage support people to know anything about it. They took care of the tourney HH request themselves, or let another trusted person take care of it that wasn't used to doing it. They genuinely made a mistake and sent the wrong one-- it was in a scrambled excel file right? This is the only way that it's plausible in my mind that it could possibly be a mistake.

I know, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I'm just trying to throw an idea out there.

For some reason I detect a hint of sarcasm there. No, for once this is actually serious and not someone saying "OMG I GOTZ RIVERED SO ONLINE POKER IS RIGGED!!!"

Lolz I was actually poking fun at all the people that seemingly refuse to read any of the threads over the past weeks but continue to post reatarded asinine questions. It's not like it's srs biz, I imagine I can just skim past their posts, but still thought i'd poke a little fun.

This is your error.

It is apparently the standard format absolute uses. Metsandfinsfan has received a similar one a few years ago.
