A ‘super-user’ account does not exist in our software.
The Absolute Poker Management


As you can see, everyone here seems to be making a big issue out of nothing. If you can't trust AP, who can you trust?

I should also note that no one from AP has contacted me asking me to keep quiet or threatening me in any way.

Nat,

Can't you get one of your contacts inside to find out what the name and password for user #363 is. Then they can log in and see if they can see the hole cards. Unless it has a secret password beyond the normal one.

My God now Absolute has no recourse. They could have used Scott Tom as the scapegoat, but now with the recent evidence, they obviously knew when they investigated the POTRIPPER account that it was their former employee and best friend of the CEO. So they have blatently lied in their last official statement. This runs soooo deep in their company. It's kind of like when you tell a lie and then another and then another to try to get out of something and it only gets worse and worse.

I would hope that even in a company as crappily run as Absolute that they wouldn't have it be possible for their employees to be able to look up passwords, only reset it via an emailed link like everyone else.

It would be beautiful to see the emergency board meetings/equilavent going on at AP right now.

I cant understand why u all want this to be blown up so much.
Read the comments it just gives retarded fish a reason not to play online since its obv rigged. now the have proof.

This is getting coverage to show that if you try to cheat, it will blow up in your face. We do NOT need to help absolute sweep this underneath the rug. If we do that, it means they can cheat, and then have poker players help them get away with it!

In the short term, there may be a hit. But this is very good for the long run of online poker.

Depends on the position of the inside guy. If he is a programmer he can probably get access to the password file.
