    One thing that I think has been lost in this mess and rightfully so with the craziness of everything else. Why the fuck did Absolute allow their employees to have an active account to begin with that could play at their tables? It was obvious at least a couple of these accounts were known to be owned by management by everyone at AP and seems to be a huge security flaw in their business plan to begin with.

    It is expected that Absolute Poker will be refunding all of the players affected by the cheating, apparently "with interest," though it is unclear how such reimbursements will be calculated.

    Furthermore, MSNBC's source claims that Absolute Poker is pondering filing charges both criminal and civil against the employee.

    Annie Duke, widely recognizable pro and the top female professional poker player in the world, notes to the online community that there is no need to fret in the wake of this news.
    "This kind of stuff happens in live games all the time," says Annie. "You just don't hear about it as much.

    ^^^Did she really say this about the AP scandal or was she mis-quoted. Seems kinda odd to me that the other players in a live game have access to all your hole cards. This really happens all the time in live games?

    its obvious she is reffering to the fact that people who wear sunglasses at the table have tiny video screens in them that broadcast all of the other players hole cards.

    damn you jesus.

    I can only assume that she thought the cheating scandal was just about collusion, which does happen all the time in live games, and had no idea about the ability to see the hole cards. That's assuming of course that she was correctly quoted.

    Any possible way we can get the name of the guy who sent CrazyMarco that HH? I think "thanks" should be in order.

    He got fired. :(

    Only in televised tourneys with lipstick cams is it possible. Try watching replays of the Jennifer Tilly win. At one point Jennifer pulls her hair back and you can see a damn IFB in her ear. IFB=intercom fold back which is a communications earpiece they use in television. All those lipstick cams are being monitored by somebody.

    From those comments by Annie and from when she made comments that online poker isn't regulated, "...and people want it to be regulated," tells me there must be plenty of open cheating at UB.

    Damn I hate thiefs. Nothing like representing honesty only to rob people blind.

    "Why the fuck did Absolute allow their employees to have an active account to begin with that could play at their tables? "

    Why the fuck not. THere is no rule, law or anyone to stop them from allowing it. Heck we don't really even know who owns AP. Isn't that funny. We ship off hundreds of dollars to these companies and we have no idea who they are or where they are located if we ever wanted to collect on some funds. We just have to take their word for it.

    I agree unless they are saying banned from online poker and they meant "banished"
    I just dont see how they could stick it.. and although this is somewhat of a relief.. now that AP has found that their system (security) was compromised..there is still a lof of other serious offenses uncovered here.. what about the security guy someone posted info on.. that is playing on AP and UB.. How can we be certain we arent playing against someone with home court advantage so to speak? Even if you participate in the Monopoly game at MickyDs.. theres is a huge disclaimer preventing freinds neighbors suppliers or ex wives from being allowed to cash or win any prizes.. Im sure AP has this type of disclaimer posted somewhere as well.

    It's pretty hard to be 100% fair here. I just hope they make it clear that they're erring on the side of paying out a fair amount more than was cheated.
