    Well now that the UB debacle has been exposed for what it is, and UB is supposed to give back about 6 million (already given 4 million back), how much do think Prahlad Friedman will get back? As everyone knows, Prahlad was one of the biggest/highest players about 3-4 yrs. ago before FT blew up. During his prime, Prahlad/Spirit Rock/Mahatma was the highest NL players on UB putting him greatly at risk to the many alias names that were being used during the UB cheating scandal. Prahlad did have a somewhat weird dissappearing act on UB where he didn't play much anymore on UB, and rumors were that he went broke etc. etc. etc. Do you think this had to do with the cheating scandal, and if you think it did, how much do think the "super-user" accounts took him for? I could be completly off base here, but I haven't seen anything posted about this.

    Anyways...food for thought.

    $6 million, not 60, already given back. There was a mistake in the original press release.

    There were a few high rollers, Mahatma being one of them that dissappeared from UB at the same time. I don't see how at their level you can't be suspicious of something strange going on. They probably realized something weird was happening but they had no way to prove it at the time. Just my opinion.
