Absolute Poker Scandal: An Inside Job

[ikestoys]

to the people who have actually spoken to security reps at Absolute:

do you think its possible they really are dumb enough to be ignorant of the superuser scandals?

if AP is so willing to do this i think they are pretty confident, for one reason or another, that the auditors will "find" nothing

I.E. AP probably already purged their system of any damning evidence.

I guarantee I could find a fair amount of evidence if it's out there. I won't say how, but anyone who has been involved in this and has seen the excel file can probably figure out what I mean. And it doesn't matter what they delete, it would just reduce the amount of info I would find.

re: the legitimacy of the auditors.

They claim "Our staff includes the only interactive gaming consultant in the world recognised as sufficiently expert to be summonsed as a witness before the 1999 Australian Senate Select Committee into Australia's Online Gambling Industries"
Source: http://www.gamingassociates.com/Pages/aboutus.aspx

The list of witnesses to that inquiry is online at http://www.aph.gov.au/Senate/committ...report/e04.pdf

1) There was no organisation called "Gaming Associates" to be represented in those hearings.

The closest options are:
Global Gaming Services Pty Ltd
WWWagering and Gaming Consultants Pty Ltd
eBet Ltd

2) All three groups spoke in Sydney; the transcript is available online at http://www.aph.gov.au/hansard/senate/commttee/s2663.pdf

I'll read #2 soon.

I'm sorry guys but abso has been so incompetent in this whole matter that I doubt they'd know what to cover up

[nycballer]

why does them going through with an audit matter at all? If the audit turns up nothing, we know they would have wiped evidence from their system before the audit commenced.

If the audit turns up nothing(99.9% chance obv otherwise they wouldnt do it), it changes nothing, we still know they cheated.

If anything this audit is a bad development because an audit showing Absolute as "clean" would give their denials more legitimacy when we have already proved they are BS

Why?

[SL__72]

According to Kahnawake's "regulations" page, Gaming Associates should already be completing monthly audits of AP.

I also emailed them (Gamingassociates.com) like 12 hours ago about this and haven't seen any sort of response yet.

An equitable remedy is a remedy under common law. A remedy under law would be under a statute.

It's just legal crap.

Okay, but it's still clear that that section (maybe the whole thing) was either written by someone not too knowledgeable about English ('equitable' is still in the wrong form and 'procure' is totally wrong), or that it was put together in a hurry.
