Where is the reasoning for the CEO to risk everything for a million or so $?

Because if it weren't for a series of incredibly boneheaded moves - playing every hand, making very improbable looking decisions, sending out HHs with IPs and emails for the taking - there shouldn't really have been much risk involved at all.

I'd have run 300bb/100 forever if it wasn't for those meddling kids on 2p2!

Hey Scott,

Remember dear, it's usually the cover up that gets you!

Could be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is Scott

God, I hope so.

EDIT: Is there an uncropped version of this image? I think photoshopping in a little diamond "363" necklace would be pretty sweet.

AB timeline;

Is this accurate;

1. Start a poker site, spam internet user forum pretending to be someone else.

2. Hire props to play for your fledgling site, rip them off or cheat them so they they are working for you for free.

3. Get affiliate program going, change terms and rules so you can basically get off without paying affiliates as well.

4. Sign players for guaranteed endorsement contracts, cancel said contracts to avoid continuing to pay the players.

5. Start a guaranteed payout tournament, cheat said tournament.

6. Cheat high stakes cash games.

7. Profit.


These guys are definitely revolutionizing the poker site business model. I wonder if FT or PS has thought of this.

Can we go back to what role Mark Seif has in this?

With this new information I question whether or not Seif is involved at all.

unfortunately this story will feed the vultures in Washington who want to eliminate on-line poker
