Jack in the Box didn't purposely sell ecoli burgers and Exxon didn't spill millions of gallons of oil because they felt like it. Although they were liable their intentions were not to be evil unlike AP.
Mousey, I know of several people that had money vanish from their AP accounts. AP never cared and of course never did anything about it. |

In terms of public perception, if it's never fully proven that management knew/covered up the actions while they were happening, how are the situations that much different? AP didn't hand this guy an account and tell him to win win win.
These companies allowed (what they call) Rogue employees and/or suppliers, in the JitBox case, to compromise their company/brand/profits. If it's shown AP knew and allowed it to continue, it will flush itself out. Until then, they can pin it on a couple of "rogue consultants" and move on. The debate (at least, the point that I responded to) isn't about what should happen to AP here, it's about *if* they will survive. You haven't shown anything to say that they won't- other than not liking them or not wanting them to. That's fine...I don't have money in them and don't care one way or the other - but it's not really relevant to the question at hand. |

Progress report from Absolute Poker
ABSOLUTE POKER CHEATS TOOK $800 000
Beleaguered online poker operator issues progress report The Kahnawake registered company Tokwiro Enterprises, 100 percent owners of Absolute Poker.com issued a progress report as the week closed on its ongoing investigations into a cheating scandal that has seen the company widely condemned by the player community (see previous InfoPowa reports). The report contains some interesting numbers, with Tokwiro claiming that the cheating "window" lasted for 40 days beginning August 14 and that some $800 000 was wrongfully won by the still unidentified company consultant, who was summarily dismissed - a point reiterated in the current report. Absolute Poker reimbursed players with twice that amount - $1.6 million - the progress report claims. The company earlier revealed that the flaw allegedly exploited by the "consultant" to cheat Absolute Poker tournament players came about through a software upgrade, and that the breach has since been identified and sealed. "The breach was exploitable only by an authorised AP person that manipulated the internal reporting software, together with the AP gaming software," the report states. "The security breach was not, therefore, the result of an external action, and no individual outside AP could exploit the breach." The report goes on to claim that allegations of a super account are unfounded, and that that there is no capability on any Absolute account to see the hole cards of other players. But it does not explain how the cheat was able to achieve such impossible winning results. The cheater/s used accounts with the handles Potripper, Graycat, Steamroller, Doubledrag, Payup, Supercard 55 and Romnaldo, Absolute Poker claims. All hand histories of play were retained and are being thoroughly analysed by Gaming Associates, commissioned by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission which licenses Absolute to audit the entire system. Absolute gives an assurance that any other prejudiced players who come to notice in the audit will be compensated. The statement ends with an apology and the assurance that the site is safe and that the investigations will be reported in an open and forthright manner. What the report does not disclose is the name of the perpetrator of the incident, arguably the worst cheating scandal in the short history of Internet poker. Nor does it reveal if his/her location is known, or whether a fraud complaint has been made to police authorities in Quebec or whether such a course of action is planned.

G911 has now proven just how little respect they deserve in the industry. Their article shows how useless they are and how little they know about poker.

They also seem to ignore the fact that this room has been skimming from players and affiliates for almost a year. G911 has sunk to a new low. Endorsing a room that stole so much money and then saying it is OK because they finally paid players back after lying about it for a month. Some people will do anything for money. |

Well, gee. What a surprise

And lookee here, Casinomeister 2007 awards are coming up - I wonder who will get what ![]() Maybe Jenny Woo for breast investigative reporter, I mean best.

Think it might be appropriate to move this thread (see Rollo's headline beginning thread) to the Jokes section? Only thing missing is a punchline.
