I'm off to bed now, so I expect some major development when i wake up in about 7 hours time.

In the meantime, please minimise the crap speculation.

Nice find, chipdumping gone wrong.

[bettyqs]

great job!

[JMX]

That HH has been posted all across the internet, so I wasn't sure if people already knew about the chip dumping.

What's interesting about that hand? Potripper had been playing like a maniac, he has two overs, a gutshot and FE, a shove really isn't that bad.

Woah who is POTROAST??

Somone look into this now, POTROAST,POTCHIPPER, and POTRIPPER. Looks like a connection to me.

I've backed away from that for now. There is a four year gap in the frat join dates- and while that doesnt preclude them knowing each other- we have no way of knowing if the william mcmahon listed is the one in the Hendon Mob base, nor any reason at this point I guess to suspect it would be the winning account.

There are McBill's active at Pokerstars and Full Tilt. If anyone knows those players- perhaps they could get him to confirm/deny he is the winner at Absolute which would help obviously.

That said I will be gone for long stretches of the day so I'm glad I at least threw it out there.

The guy plays only 5 MTT´s.

Final Tables 3,

Wins 2, including one of 100K.

ugh I really wish I could delete that first post I made.

It has contributed to this stuff and I wish it hadn't.

I made a mistake in posting my speculation guys (albeit with strange coincidences). Please don't post more.

Usually when a marketing/PR guy says something along the lines of "...a lot of information out there is COMPLETELY FALSE and slanderous", but then won't tell you what they're referring to, it's because it's inconsequential things they are referring to (like a one-liner from some moron that no one here takes seriously anyway), but they want you to THINK that they're referring to something that's very important.

Two items from the phone conversation:

"Not all of the information posted on 2+2 is incorrect, but a lot of it is completely wrong."

"Some people are using this opportunity to spread misinformation and trying to hurt Absolute Poker. A lot of really untrue things are being said on purpose to make us look bad."

These claims have made me wonder. The evidence of cheating is repeatedly claimed to be convincing in these threads. Are these convictions based on belief that the reported Excel-file is genuine?

Also, I get the feeling that when AP says "a lot of it is completely wrong" they're talking about something like, oh, Scott Tom doesn't work for us. People on 2p2 are claiming he does.

We've seen some amazing detective work so far on this thread, but this is getting ridiculous.

There was a connection between potripper and potchipper/potchopper whatever his name is. No one who watched the hh in the replayer will have any suspicion about potroast imo.
