AP to Admit System Was Compromised

PocketFives just received a phone call from Absolute Poker confirming the suspicions of the online poker community over the past month.  While we need to be vague in this post to respect their wishes, we can say that their systems were compromised, and that they are prepared to provide the details in a statement coming shortly. 

Part of the statement will include a plan to refund players affected by this compromise.

We are extremely relieved to hear this outcome, as our most important goal in all this is to see justice given to those who were cheated in this process.  Pocketfives is extremely proud to have played a part in the process of uncovering the impropriety that has occurred. We would of course like to thank all the other parties who played a key role in this process—specifically the folks that have been posting here and at twoplustwo.com.

This is great news for everyone.  Keep your eyes out for the statement.

Extremely Relieved,

--Adam

Great news. Thanks to everyone for their amazing work and time spent to make sure this could not just get swept under the rug.

    This looks so good for us in our battle to play online with our govt. grace.  The fact that our poker forums uncovered and blew the lid off this case to the point of admission is amazing. Shows the integrity of our communities.

did they already get done with the gaming associate audit?  or did they just finally realize that they are idiots for not seeing what hundreds of online poker players saw?

Seems like the big question now is whether they will explain how their first "investigation" didn't find anything.
