AP Resolution
By N 82 50 24 on 10-20-2007 7:42 PM

Two people will be implicated here, you can probably guess who.  One is going to be removed from online poker forever and one is going be removed for a fair amount of time.

I was asked not to post specifics and that AP's statement is going to be detailed and is going to be released Sunday morning.

Removed by whom?

And it does not resolve the problem of how a rogue employee/owner exec or whatever could pull off something like this.

There were apparently insufficient internal controls at AP to prevent this sort of thing or it is more than two people involved.

In NCAA terms there was a "lack of institutional control".

The bigger picture, especially for US legislators, is whether the security, regulation and control is adequate.  If this is not resolved, less restrictive regulation in the US is a pipe dream.


Nice job btw.

Gaming Commission as I understand it.

Now we're talking. 

If KGC can take control and enforce its regulations then it can show the world that there is some form of regulation and enforcement.

I am really glad that nat, adanthar and others kept pursuing this huge problem that was obviously going on at AP. Nice job not stopping with there constant lies saying that no cheating ever took place. Very nice work everyone and Im glad to see they finally admitted to the huge problem that was going on with their company and I really reallly can't wait to see what there statement says tomorrow.

The key here for me is that the KGC can and will exercise their power over licensees.

Kind of a Marbury v. Madison of online poker.

I hope this is what is happening.

I am sorry, but "banning" somebody forever is lame. Anyone who wants to can open up an account under another name. Why don't they just send him to stand in the corner? They should pull all his hand histories and make him give the money he stole back to its rightful owners. This is the only outcome that could make this right.

Maybe Nat can get some rest until morning. Great job putting it all together.

This still doesn't address the issue of AP's cover-up and phony investigation.

Good to know. Thanks for all your efforts Nat.

Re(2): AP Resolution In reply to
By N 82 50 24 on 10-20-2007 8:23 PM

I'm assuming the statement tomorrow will say that the two people high up in the matter are responsible for the coverup.

So how does banning two people fix the problem that their security could not detect the most obvious type of cheating, or that chip dumping went on for days? 

Banning two people fixes the fact that the company lied?

I still don't see how banning two individuals makes your money safe on this site, unless those two people were the entire security team.
