Absolute Poker Hacking Story Continued

  • Absolute Poker Hacking - More to the Story

The online world is full of so much about the recent story regarding the hacking of Absolute Poker by a high ranking ‘Consultant’ of Absolute Poker. One prominent Internet rumour is that the Absolute Poker situation has been ongoing for three years. The same Internet posting says the amount of money stolen could be as much a $7 million. AnotherJenny Woo posting says that Absolute Poker security suspected trouble but was informed it was the owners testing the system and to ‘pay no attention to the man behind the curtain’. Ok so I stole that from the Wizard of Oz but the concept is the same. Everywhere you look are stories about AJ Green and Scott Tom. Pictures of Gambling911.com reporter Jenny Woo with AJ Green the suspected Potripper back in 2005. Jenny felt the need to come out and apologize in this post. I have seen Internet posts calling this Absolute Poker situation the biggest scandal ever to hit the Online Poker Industry. Reportedly ESPN is doing a major expose on the Absolute Poker hacking. ‘Pokergate’ is on so many forums and blogs you could spent way too much time just searching for information on the scandal. The statement sent out earlier this week by Absolute Poker discussed the investigations that are ongoing. Audits are being completed to determine exactly how much money was won by Potripper and any additional suspects. Absolute Poker has promised refunds plus interest to all players victimized by the scandal and the offered $500 voucher if their name was disclosed inappropriately. Again reportedly Absolute Poker is still bringing in $1.5 and $2.0 million a day in gross revenues. The story seems to just keep on going and going with the Online Player community. Your ‘Dead Money’ blogger saw all the rumours for the last month but couldn’t believe it. Here are my posts regarding the Absolute Poker trouble.

About Just Poker Talk

There’s a lot to learn about poker, much more than the game itself. The last few years are a perfect example of poker’s growth into mainstream American culture - books, movies, video games, television, poker players as celebrities, etc. Along with poker strategy and theory, Just Poker Talk plans to chronicle these happenings because it says something about society, about the state of the world, and, more than anything, we want to know what it all means.
