AP infinity plus one - New AP Statement

[Ps3tn0NcYk]

In the hypothetical scenario where Absolute is on trial for this debacle, do you not agree that Absolute's lawyers will always argue that the "refund" was an implied "settlement"?

Look at the basic time line of events.

1.) Absolute denies everything.

Standard opening play.

2.) Absolute states they were hacked.

Here they are hoping the story ends. Absolute produces some paperwork that certifies that their security meets "standards" and the ex-employee hacker is to blame. Thus exonerating them from any legal liability and focusing the heat on the phantom employee. The ex-employee line was critical as it is reasonable to presume an ex-employee may have the ability to compromise otherwise ironclad security.

3.) Absolute admits their system was compromised by a "high level" consultant, exposing the actual company to legal risk and not just the consultant, and immediately begins sending settlements out to all affected parties.

If a majority of the players harmed by this event rejected the settlement in favor of seeking legal remedy, Absolute would turn over the "high level consultant" immediately.

Since that isn't and likely will not be the case, Absolute will continue to try to buy their way out of it by offering a settlement in the amount of money lost due to cheating.

FYP.

I don't think that trying to clear his name is a reason to think less of the bloke.

Moving up in the world, they did something and actually notified me of it

Wouldn't such a trial be a criminal action?

In a civil case, presumably those who lost money would be seeking to recoup their losses. If they can recoup their losses without going to trial, isn't that always going to be better?

dude he's a lawyer, this is bad for him...


lolz my first conspiracah!

[Ps3tn0NcYk]

And now you know the reason for releasing the Seif transcript.

It is prima facie "proof" that Absolute cannot offer settlements to any harmed party beyond what is retrievable in the 30 gig database of hand histories.

It is a slick way of containing their potential damages beyond what may have transpired over the past two months or so.

[DEAD ON IMPACT]

I have received a'lot less than what I should have been recieving for the amount of my losses against all 3 breached accounts and got the same email you did mntbkr. There stating ONE player had breached the system. Not Steamroller, Doubledrag, Graycat, Potripper. I'm hoping that they are going and giving money back by each individual account at a time and I will be receiving the rest of my losses from these guys in the next few days.

[DEAD ON IMPACT]

Ikestoys, did you recieve any money back yet?
