39) Nat talks to AP on the phone, and they said that Stars has a great VIP program, among other things

I don't think Nat ever said that.

Yea, I definitely didn't. The guy did not give me that story.

EDIT: FMP to make it say something else that the guy did not say to me

Sorry Nat.

I edited the op. Either everyone is going to have to edit their quotes of my mistake, or mods will have to edit it out.

N82 for mod.

Relevant portion from Nat's phone call:

[ QUOTE ]
Among other things, he said that "geek" was not a correct term to be used here and if someone said that it was not what AP meant.

[/ QUOTE ]

Now, what's more likely? An MSNBC reporter made up some wild story, or AP's throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks?

[/ QUOTE ]

Dudd,
I think things are pretty chaotic at AP right now, so I wouldn't blame them for saying and then retracting tiny things like that.

Edit: Also, thanks kurt.

Probably because it wouldn't be the best idea to feed a BS story to the person who holds alot of information about what really happened. Best to save the Die Hard spiel for non-poker media who will eat it up.

Next up: The head of Absolute IT department planted a "worm virus" that would tip all of the oil tankers in the world; but some teenage hackers broke the system to save the world and in the process got access to whole cards.

So do we believe AP's current version of events (that it was some rogue employee and that no money was actually cashed out)?

I can't speak for anyone else, but if you're asking me if I believe it...

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhah

Ahem. That was a good one. No, I'm not buying it for a second. Seriously, they investigate for A MONTH and find nothing. We show them proof positive and 24 hours later, not only have they figured it all out, but they've FIXED IT.

I don't think so.

Dont know where this should be inserted in the cliffsnotes timeline but it was on august22, before the potripper tourney, where I got 2nd to one of the cheating accounts, Payup, in the 1k mtt.

I laughed about Payups invincibility throughout the course of the tourney with inissint while on the phone but didnt think anything of it really until 2+2 started looking into the potripper tourney which i THINK occured later. I sent adanthar my hh for the payup tourney and he essentilly confirmed that the same shenanigans were involved and the payup account was also closed by AP.

To be fair, the guy on the phone admitted that a number of things needed to be changed. He never said that they fixed it. It's clear (at least to him) that they need to change.

**Once again, assuming he's not feeding me a bunch of lies

I think we should assume they are all feeding us lies until they prove otherwise.
