So...I have been contacted by a bunch of friends and by a ton of people on several web forums in the last week regarding the nionio thing at UB. I want to thank everyone all for your comments and your passion on the topic.
First, I want to let you know why I didn’t respond initially. I am not conducting the investigation so didn’t really feel it was my place to comment. My role at UB is limited to revamping the tournament schedule and re-energizing the UB brand, a brand I am very emotionally invested in. Although several people have suggested otherwise, I do not have a direct line of contact with the senior management at UB on a day to day basis nor do they write my posts for me. I do all that myself. I do not have any direct information from management day in day out as to what is going on with the investigation into alleged cheating on the UB site.
I can say that before agreeing to take on a larger role at UB, I needed a high level of comfort with the way the investigation was being conducted. That it was being conducted in an upright and forthright manner that was thoughtful and thorough. I definitely sought those assurances from the management team at UB was thoroughly investigating this issue and working in a way to come to a quick resolution the issue of alleged cheating. After some super frank discussions, during which I have to say I was not kind and, in fact, rather blunt about my feelings on the issue, I came away satisfied with both the intent of the management team to deal honestly with the allegations, as well as with the integrity of the management team itself. That is coming from someone who was as skeptical as could be. As skeptical as you all might feel, trust me, I was more skeptical than that going into meeting this new team. But I have to say they are seriously guys who “get it.” Let’s all remember this management team inherited this investigation and I am satisfied with how they are approaching it. I have no reason to believe that management is not pursuing the investigation fully and completely.
That being said, I want to see the results of this investigation and UB’s final report as quickly as possible, and as quickly and badly as all of you do. I know that the management team is eager to make its findings public within the month, and I am hopeful that all the details will be released very soon, I have been told perhaps within two to three weeks. I fully expect that management will be true to its word and that we will see a full and accurate report on these serious allegations.
Until then, I will continue to promote the UB brand because it is a brand I believe in and love and am deeply emotionally invested in. I sincerely want thank you all for your comments on the schedule and I hope you will keep them coming. This is a group effort. Dialog is the only thing that will make all this better and better and give you the most kick ass schedule on the net! (At least that is my goal!).

Management at UB needs to speak about the issue. Annie's on here trying to bring in customers to UB. UB is trying to promote their site and paying for spokesmen and commercials, be kind of nice if they took some of that money and let people know there is an investigation and they are doing the best they can INSTEAD of sweeping it under the rug and only mentioning anything if forced too from irate former customers.
I think representing UB as a spokesperson during this time is a poor choice in decision making.

Simply put there are choices for each and every one of us, but in the U.S. and abroad to choose to bring our funds to for the purpose of playing poker. Two of those sites have had confirmed security breaches. There is absolutely no reason why anyone MUST play on either of these two sites as multiple other options exist. If you choose to play where there have been known problems well then I hope it works out for you, but if not, then you have nobody to look at but yourself. Personally, I've pulled all funds from UB and AP, and I'll never deposit there again. Why support either place with questionable security and worse morals (how the allegations were handled/settled) when I have multiple other choices.
If Enron restructured themselves now and came out with a new management group and business model...I'm still not gonna buy their stock.

I don't care what their "investigation" unveils. I'll never play there again. And I don't even play at stakes that people would try to cheat. But there is obviously no integrity @ Ub or Ap.
Fool me once, shame on you.
