Cheating at AP, updated cliff notes

[gumpzilla]

Metafilter has something up about this, linking to 2+2. Link here. It's not clear from the front page what the article is about, which is unfortunate, and that's obviously going to get a smaller audience than digg, but the word continues to spread.

I have User Account #84. It's possible that I was a beta tester, I simply don't remember--But at that point it was definitely very public--I don't believe for a second User #363 was an accidental beta testing backdoor--It was created on purpose after the fact.

[/ QUOTE ]

Implications of this? I think the evidence gathered is too strong to throw doubt on the involvement of account #363. Maybe 363 was created specifically for this purpose in the early days of AP by a few core players (Tom, and/or AJ, and/or Mark, and/or others). This would add more clout to the claim that the current AP administration knows nothing of it, and their behavior can be attributed to incompetence. We can always hope.

I don't recall anything like that.

A confidential source told me that the guy is no longer with the company.

But maybe someone else is willing to send this stuff out.

[/ QUOTE ]
BTW, I was told that by two separate confidential sources, both of whom did not want to post on their names. I trust both of them.

Maybe somebody can help this guy get a job (at PokerStars or somewhere) after this all blows over.

It's coming out anyway. Better to take charge of the story from our side rather than try to sweep it under the rug.

I think this being public doesn't hurt online poker that much. It hurts AP, but if 'Stars, FTP etc are smart they're working on their "here is why this would NEVER happen here" statements right now.

It's a shame the article thats getting dugg is the crappily written one.
