    I am not trying to throw fuel on the fire, but if Druff's assumption is correct that user 363 was created early on during testing at AP, what are the chances that a similar type account exists at all the other sites.

    Instantly, the replay of the Sunday Million Final Table with open hole cards comes to mind.

    Obviously, the chances that an executive at stars is caught cheating is much more remote than executives at AP, but my question is about the existence of such superuser accounts.

    The best thing stars and FTP and any other legit site could do at this point would be to let everyone know how this information is processed during tournaments and what safeguards are in place to keep hole card information away from prying eyes until after the tournament ends.

    You're absolutely (no pun) right. Depending on what AP says in their statement later today, I would hope that the other sites would take the first step in at least attempting to assure us that these accounts (which we now know exist) can't be accessed.

    Logically, if AP used a "see-all" account to guarantee that their software ran correctly during testing, there is a 100% chance that other site's software developers used the same type of accounts.

    This needs to be addressed by ALL online sites, IMO.
