13.5: I don't believe there is any proof that the scott@rivieraltd.com/363 IP belonged to Scott Tom. There is strong evidence that suggests it belongs to a residential cable modem in San Jose, but I don't know that we can assume any more then that at this point. It is believed to be Scott Tom because:

Rivieraltd.com was linked to AP.
The email address is Scott@.
Forum posts made by users believed to be Scott Tom have also been made from San Jose on this forum and casinomeister.com.

If I'm wrong about this I can update the OP.

15.5: I figured the email was worth reading so I just linked to it instead of trying to pick out a few points.

If you guys have an account on digg, it wouldn't hurt to digg the blog story on the NYTimes. We need a bunch of diggs for it to make it to the front page.

Hmm, I can't edit the OP anymore. Could a mod edit this link into it? Maybe after the link to the Youtube video?

good summary, I hope some more stuff comes out soon though because things seem to have slowed down recently (last 12-18 hrs or so). Maybe I'm just being a nit.

Exciting implications incoming:

If you guys remember, there were two people watching Potripper's table. One is #363; the other is assumed to be Potripper. That second account's email address is scott@rivieraltd.com.

I have talked to a lot of people around the poker world about the IP address used by #363 and the rivieraltd.com email. The IP address cross-references to someone named Scott Tom, who also appears to be an owner at AP. It should also be noted that the first part of the rivieraltd.com email is "scott@".

edited post to be clearer

Because its Scott Tom's IP address.

Longest cliff notes ever. Nice job though.

Exactly why are these AP threads at BBV?

Edit: Also, the Freakonomics guy (Levitt) weighing in on this is pretty big, isn't it? He has a ton of readers, no doubt.

Yeah I read that but since I didn't understand how he knew that, I guess I kind of wrote it off as "evidence" instead of "fact."

And like I said, I can't edit the OP anymore [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

From Nate's blog:

2+2 moderator Adanthar found that the IP address was used by a 2+2 account with the login name scotttom.

So there is a very direct link between account #363 and the name "Scott Tom".

This has been posted in a lot of forums and in a lot of different places. It just seems that we (BBV) really took off with it, and now we are attracting other people in here. Just my observation.
