Default Re: Absolute Poker Scandal: An Inside Job

[ QUOTE ]
I have some intimate knowledge of the KGC, I was involved in a site was hosted out of Kahnawake Mohawk Territory and was (still is) licensed by the KGC. There are 1000's of sportsbooks/poker rooms or casinos that are hosted or have servers located in Kahnawake Mohawk Territory.

I actually worked in an office that was located in Kahnawake and spent 3 years making the trek from Montreal to Kahnawake to do work at the office that was located in the Plaza where a few of the internet sites do customer service or run their operations.

Pretty much every big poker site or casino at leasts co-locates their servers in Kahnawake because of its location. Sites that are hosted in KGC must have a gaming license before they can locate at Mohawk Internet Technologies, (MIT). The reason you are seeing the Mohawk.ca domain attached to the superuser is because Absolute likely has their mail server at MIT (in kahnawake) and it kind implicitly guarantees that this whole thing was an inside job.

If there was any doubt before that someone from absolute whether it was an employee or owner, was involved in this cheating operation. I think that doubt has been removed now.

I can also categorically state that the KGC in no way has any ownership interest in Absolute Poker, I don't think they do a very good job of policing their license holders, but its not because they are crooked or own pieces of the sites. They just have far too many sites operating out of MIT and can't possibly keep up with the workload.

I'd also like to add that Scott Huff and I are doing a weekly radio show at Barry Greenstein and Joe Sebok's site(thepokerroad) and will be covering this topic. If anyone has some intimate knowledge or if Nat or whomever would like to come on the show PM me.

from this I get that the Kahnawake Territory is just a server farm and to be "licensed" by them is to pay money so you can host your site there. There is nobody that oversees it and the commission is just there to take fees/rent nothing more. I doubt they have ever turned anybody down for a license if they were paid
