I was reading Gary Wise's site about collusion at UB and it said Paradise Poker had some scandal?

I wonder if he could have meant Planet Poker.

I think Paradise's only crime was their arrogance. To go from #1 to nowhere like they did is astonishing.

They went downhill because they thought they would be #1 forever. They capped the games first at 10/20 then 15/30 then 20/40 when people wanted to play bigger. They wouldn't have tournaments despite demand. Every "innovation" they implemented was a response to some other site doing it first. They thought they were gonna be the 800-lb grind joint forever, which is pretty foolish given how easy it is for another site to spring up.
