Annie Duke's Pokerroad Interview

Annie,

I just listened to the pokerroad interview. (http://www.pokerroad.com/ )

where you claim this brainwash guy has been trying to blackmail UB.


Can you explain why the big name players have cash transactions with the fraudulent accounts?

If you can comment on someone who is trying to blackmail the company you surely can comment on the evidence he provides.

 At this point why would anyone even care what UB says or does or anyone working for UB?


They are clearly liars and anyone that plays there knowing whats going on deserves whatever happens to them.

was i the only one who felt sorry for Joe and Ali. She like talked none stop, it was unreal diffecult for them get in questions. I dont know but is this what cocaine does to you??? Why couldnt she take it easy and give some clear answears instead of jappling about nothing. I think she should really take a few min and think what is going on and what she is trying to defend.

UB= New Management, Same Crap....Annie why would you even choose to respond if you have nothing valuable to say? Honestly everything you say is just a failed PR attempt that makes your company look worse and worse...Why not say something worthwhile regarding the case rather then beating around the bush for the questions we in the poker community want to hear? Its hurt your reputation a lot more responding and sticking up for these crooks then it does help save it. Youve worked for UB for quite some time and have some vested interests within the company. Obv you have to have some knowledge of something going on within the management. To be so naive and to think we are going to believe some of the stuff you spew out is ridiculous.

If Brainwash tried to blackmail UB, then it sounds like he had some serious dirt on them. Which came came to light in the 2+2 thread. If everyone at UB is actively monitoring the thread at 2+2 why don't they come out and say something? (Jack Bates did) Rather then have the watchdog community (2+2) have to uncover all the facts that your company cannot or your company choose not to. Many of us are sick of the PR crap that comes out. New Management, No knowledge, New tourney schedule, UB has good people in place. You find more superusers by the day. We want names of these people not online aliases. IF 2+2 can uncover so much with limited resources how can you possibly think that we as people are so naiive to think you/UB have no clue about whats gone on.  Come clean about the crimes committed previously or the ships sinks. We want pros names, superuser names the works. Why not involve interpol in the operation, after all it is international fraud/Money laundering and a whole list of other crimes they'd be interested. Or is Haim going to get the AJ Green treatment...

I have the feeling if UB/AP actually disclosed all the cheating going on and actually had to make restitution to everyone it would probably bankrupt the company

When will you all understand that Annie has back end ownership burried deep with in many shell companies - and she is protecting her own ass and her own profits - yet continually refers to herself as not being a spokesperson.  Its all a scam that Annie is a big part of and that is why she continually puts herself out there defending UB -

I have a feeling the other option they've chosen isn't that much better. They are the WWE of Online poker right now. Traffic isn't improving and why would it? Multiple accounts of major fraud within management including top pros being named. 2+2 has proven to be a better security team then the joke they have inplace. Had it not been for the Potripper HH we'd still be getting ripped off by this company. Why in the Hell would anyone be so stupid as to put a dime on that site, because Bax is there? I think Bax is a good guy but a name is going to get me to play sorry. Trust is earned not given and any Trust this company had left went out the door 2/7/08 when NioNio and the second case was uncovered....

LOL @ Annie's interview. She comes off horribly and avoids the questions there just as she has here. Also, she said Rizen left UB because he was worried about the publicity of the 60 mins interview and still claims UB is the safest site on the net. True?

annie duke: 

Whether or not the poster was trying to blackmail the company has no bearing on truth or untruth of the postings themselves. 

Annie



1) Its called blackmail because some person is threatening to divulge a truth that a second entity doesnt want people to know in exchange for cash. If it were a lie you expose the liar and call it a lie and there is no blackmail. 

2) Since no one at UB/AP can seem to figure out a way to prosecute a fraud committed against them as you and they seem to represent, then any and all blackmailers/criminals should be free to select UB/AP as a target.  Since the claim was made so eloquently in your flour/cocaine analogy the inference to any would be criminal is its Open Season on UB/AP. (I could also submit that this is another reason not to play UB/AP but since all of us are making she-it up as we are going, I'll save time by just making my point)  Once again this is more spin spin spin. The fact is they get an indictment in Costa Rica or Canada (Or anywhere that has a court of international law where online poker is legal) then get the US or wherever to extradite the perpetrator(s). I'm not an attorney but making the claim that UB/AP is a victim and the US is the ONLY place to pursue the perp(s) in court is a disingenuous statement and another in the list of dubious statements to come from the pro UB/AP camp. This would be proactive and an indictment might show the "current management" is doing someting other than lying to the poker population, giving us the latest and greatest PR spin and making excuses and asking for apologies for their incompence.

3) You gave Pokerroad a scoop when you called it blackmail so we can assume the postings are the truth. Your words Annie.

I think it might be time for UB to can Annie Duke, for as good a poker player as she is, shes an awful spinmeister.

PS

Pokerroad. Great job on the interview BTW. Kudos and bottoms up Joe and Ali (from the CA Grand days...lol...I hope your a better player now)!

annie duke: 
I should let UB respond to that not me since I am not a spokesman on this issue and have no interest in being one.



If thats the case why do you continue to do interviews and answer questions regarding the issue. Sure seems like you are a spokesperson during those interviews. However when the questions get tough on the forums you suddenly claim not to be a spokesperson.

Weird wild stuff.

Do the right thing. Resign from UB and denounce them. In my eyes this fiasco is destroying your reputation.





I'm sorry to say but Annie, you may have just jumped the shark.  Leave UBET for good and you might salvage the respect many of us have for you.

Constapissed: 
synesthetia: 

I'm not sure what everyone is really expecting Annie to answer.  I'm sure a lot of people here have worked for companies that have had some sort of scandle or something happen they they didn't have direct knowledge of.  I highly doubt Annie is in the board room when all the decision and stuff are going down.

I understand that she is the face of UB, along with Phil, but it appears to me that she is more stuck in the middle.  I know everyone is upset, but do you think she is behind the whole thing?  I think some of you do, and that is your oppinion, I'm fine with that.



Annie said in the Poker Road interview that she is very much involved with security and the fraud investigation. I would assume to properly be able to help in that matter she would need to have been given a ton/all of information in the scandal that happened in the past.

She knows more than you think or she just lied on Poker Road about being involved with their security.

the quote is at about the 55 minute mark of the interview.



I did not say I was involved in the fraud investigation of this scandal.  I said I was involved in working with the company on developing tools for security going forward and that I was involved in fraud as it relates to new promotions.  Please do not twist my words.  I did not conduct the investigation.  I am not intimately involved with the investigation.  I am not a spokesperson for the investigation.

this corrupt, thieving site pays you to be its face... hell, i imagine you probably own a piece of it.  maybe you should consider getting intimately involved, huh?


honestly, if youre not part of the solution, youre part of the problem... quit being part of the fucking problem.
