Watching this has been better than playing poker. GG all who could and did contribute.

should probably happen. Nobody's gonna go to jail over this, but AP should lose as much credibility as possible.
I don't want them to be shut down. I don't want the story to be so widely publicized it fuels anti-online poker in the states. I want them to lose advertising contracts and space, so new players are discouraged from signing up with them, thereby discouraging other sites from repeating their mistakes.

This is great news.

Still a little scary that they'll intentionally sweep something under the rug.

Indeed, good news. And yes, scary that they'll admit something. Might be a lot more dirt out there and they dont want anyone to find out...

If AP survives this it's just a green light for other sites not to care what happens internally. It's definitely not a "wash" by simply returning the money. That doesn't make it okie dokie.

It will cost them $$$$ if they cannot recover it from the bad guys.

I feel like the next step is to start to formulate questions that need to be answered for this issue to be considered resolved.

My question would be: Was the person who sent out the origin Excel file a whistleblower or was it an accident? Is that person still working for Absolute? If that person was fired as a whistleblower then no explanation of the security breach could bring me back as a player.

Someone needs to forward the press release to media, so people who read the original story can see they haven't just been accused, but convicted.
