Right after the AP scandal broke huge I changed my SN to POTRIPPER on cake. They locked my account in about 6 hours. I had to change it to something different the next day after a few apologetic emails.

Just checked my email again and thought I'd post most of them cause they handled it pretty well. I send them an email that said I couldn't login, they sent this back

As we are sure you know about the current situation at Absolute Poker regarding an account with the player ID POTRIPPER being the centre of some serious accusations including cheating at the tables, knowing the hole cards of other players and being a former employee with a “super user” account we have no alternative but to suspend your account and investigate due to the many inquiries about your account by Cake account holders who have seen you at the tables recently.

We can see that you have only recently changed your player ID to POTRIPPER and regardless of whether this was a joke (which we must state is in bad taste considering the present situation which affects all online poker and not just Absolute) or not Cake Poker must be seen to show due diligence and investigate your account completely as a show of integrity and security to our players. Your account will remain suspended until a full investigation has been completed.

I emailed back that I understood, and they replied with this

From your account it appears that you are a well rounded and well above average player who more than likely makes a living from poker. Am I to believe that you are the same Sponger who cashed in this years WSOP main event? If this is true then it begs the question, why would you put yourself and Cake Poker in a potential situation that could adversely affect both parties due to the escalating situation at Absolute Poker which will most likely affect online poker in general due to the severity of the accusations.

We can acknowledge the fact that you have not played in any way that would suggest cheating but we were obliged and we hope you agree, that this investigation of your account was warranted not only due to the present Absolute situation but also as a show of diligence to our customers who have inquired about your account.

Your account will be reopened as soon as you reply and inform us of the player ID that you would like your account to be set to as we are sure you can understand that your present player ID cannot be retained for obvious reasons.

and then here is my sorry email

Thank you for your comments and I am that Sponger. As to your question, I hadn't thought of the potential consequences and was only trying to be funny. Your emails were both necessary and professional and I am glad that you guys are on top of the situation. I have learned my lesson and will try to conduct myself in a more professional manner.
