Again, can someone with the Excel file please check on PotRipper's IP address? Where in the world is this guy located? Costa Rica???!

Also, check for matches with anyone else in the tourney from that same IP address...this might answer whether it's Potripper's account itself that's able to see hole cards, or whether he gets that info from an accomplice's account.

This thing reads like a Stephen King novel.

Disgruntled employee decides to screw AP. He fixes an update so his accounts can see hole cards. He cheats in such a way that it is inevitable it will be noticed. When the expected "investigation" is concluded and AP thinks it has swept the problem under the rug, he makes his HHs publicly available. AP [censored] with the wrong dude. They should have known better-- his name is Louis Cyphre.

He was quoted as saying:

"I have old-fashioned ideas about honour. An eye for an eye... stuff like that."

Absolute poker clears POTRIPPER of any wrongdoing in this situation. The investigation has beeen going on for almost a month now.

I have several close friends who have played this guy headsup on the account DOUBLDRAG as well who are in total down over $100k to the Absolute Poker hackers. These hackers are probably going to be clearing close to a MILLION DOLLARS on accounts GRAYCAT, PAYUP, STEAMROLLER, DOUBLEDRAG, POTRIPPER. It should also be mentioned that all of this money was CHIP DUMPED to other accounts to be cashed out and this chip dumping was basically ignored by Absolute Poker investigators.

I've written a letter to the Kahnawakee gaming comission as I suggest everyone else do the same.

If you are currently not playing on Absolute Poker because of this situation inform Absolute Poker as to why you are not playing on their site.

NOTHING WILL HAPPEN IF WE DO NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN. ABSOLUTE IS PUSHING THIS UNDER THE RUG. THIS IS HE MOST SERIOUSLY DEVASTATING SITUATION THAT ONLINE POKER HAS EVER SEEN. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW, IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING IT'S BECUASE WE ARE BEING STONEWALLED.

Sorry for the caps but I am finally sick and tired of this sitation not getting the attention it deserves. Also I am banned from posting on P5s so if someone wants to suggest writing to the Kahnawakee gaming comission and Absolute Poker to P5ers, PLEASE do.

KGC will do nothing, it is a waste of time.

Guys, this is hilarious.

Someone from NWP wrote a letter to AP complaining about the superuser stuff. Standard complaint letter, but the response is comedy gold:

------------------------------------------------------------


Dear Mr. XXXX ,

Thank you for contacting us.

AP officials have requested some threads be removed and have announced
an official statement. If you have any customers complaining or have
concerns, please use the following:

Thank you for your email regarding alleged fraudulent player activity.
We have been following the forums closely and are aware of your
concern.
First, we’d like to assure you that a ‘super-user’ account does
not exist. Absolute Poker was created by poker players who value
security and fair play. The backend of the Absolute Poker software makes it
impossible for such an account to function. Our game client only
receives data regarding an individuals hand and no other player hole cards are
ever visible – by anyone – except in the event of a showdown.

With that said, we take any allegation of wrongdoing extremely
seriously and we sincerely value your concern. We have temporarily frozen the
accounts of the players in question while we continue our extensive
investigation. At this point, we have found no evidence of wrongdoing.
However, given the seriousness of these allegations, our investigation will
go on.

Our fraud department has combed through all hands involving the
accounts that were mentioned in the online forum. Please note that the
examples mentioned in the forum present only a small snapshot of each
player’s activity. Our ongoing investigation continues to show that the
long-term success rates of these players aren’t in line with what the
forum suggests.

Fair play and security are as important to Absolute Poker management
and staff as they are to our players. Our fraud department is dedicated
to ensuring that everyone on the site has a fair opportunity to win. We
stand by the results of our random number generator and we take great
pride in our game client security.

Absolute Poker remains a 100% secure place to play. We value all of our
players and we will continue to provide our community with a safe,
secure and exciting online poker experience.

Thank you, once again, for your email. If we can be of any other
assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

If there is anything else we can assist you with please let us know.

Sincerely,

Nia
