Re: Absolute Poker Scandal: An Inside Job
I'm not really worried about AP so much as some guy who I've implicated in this hiring some random thug in Costa Rica to stop by my hotel room.
Note that Adanthar reveal Scott Tom, not me. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] (Scott, please take notes) |

Re: Absolute Poker Scandal: An Inside Job
Just a thought... If the server farm is in Quebec, wouldn't the backups be there too? Maybe this audit won't even need to go to CR.

So Scott Tom, is he still involved in AP after the sale to UB? [/ QUOTE ] Grunch, i'm sure it's been stated, but AP bought UB. It's more of a merger but UB DID NOT BUY AP. |

Re: Absolute Poker Scandal: An Inside Job
Would a full audit of AP also include private interviews with the employees? Since many consider this to be an inside job it seems like that should happen as well as an analysis of the hardware.
