one important thing of note is that this new info contradicts Dan Druff's theory, which was sold on the four accounts belonging to players that were inactive in the absolute system for a very long time

the truth proves to be just hilariously dumb.

Dan's theory was pretty solid. He was probably assuming that an AP employee (let alone a VP) would be such a [censored] idiot.

It's one of the top upcoming stories now, so other people can easily see it and digg it as well.

media exposure is coming whether we like it or not

what is better...mass media exposure to make sure something like this never happens again and having other poker sites tighten up their security as a result, or helping AP sweep this under the rug?

Actually, no. POTRIPPER was never seen chip dumping, GRAYCAT and DOUBLEDRAG were. They may have decided to use their own accounts so that they would not have to chip dump any more.

Also, it is not uncommon for friends to play each others' accounts. It is possible that Scott Tom was using AJ Green's account and account 363 at the same time. Just saying, we can't know exactly who was playing the accounts but it is reasonable to say it was at least one of them, maybe more people, too.

No, plenty of people have expressed the idea that they think this publicity will be bad for poker. I think there's a pretty good chance of that, at least in the short term, but who knows, it might lead to a better endgame. It does make an argument for better regulation, among other things. Since I personally don't have much financially at stake in poker, I would like to see this brought to as much light as possible, just because I would like to see Absolute completely destroyed.
