Re: Beat: Absolute Poker cruises on as if nothing had happened
[ QUOTE ]
What did you expect to happen? <font color="white"> Lori </font> [/ QUOTE ] Good question! Honestly, I thought that this was such an incredible scandal - the absolute worst case conceivable - that it would inevitably attract huge publicity, be picked up by the entire online community and major news media, and that the site would inevitably go down in flames. Really, think about it: top-level insiders, founders and owners cheating, looking at hole cards for millions, a protracted coverup, amateur sleuthing brings it all to light - this should be the meltdown scenario! Color me naive, but that's what I honestly thought.

Over time it will impact their business, but the chances are that they'll get away with it.

Re: Beat: Absolute Poker cruises on as if nothing had happened
While it sucks that Absolute didn't get their comeuppance, this is overall a brag imo. The pool of clueless fish available for online poker has to be pretty bombproof if even the [censored] company executives cheating the site's player base out of a million plus dollars doesn't faze them.
