cd_Gothenburg Postad 22 Juli , 2008 Rapport Postad 22 Juli , 2008 Sleepless är ett av kontona som har används av fuskarna enligt UB pressrelease: "March 2008: Six player accounts are confirmed to have participated in this scheme. No accounts were deleted at any point, although some account names were changed multiple times. The following account names are known to have been used in the fraudulent activity: NioNio, Sleepless, NoPaddles, nvtease, flatbroke33, ilike2win, UtakeIt2, FlipFlop2, erick456, WhackMe44, RockStarLA, stoned2nite, monizzle, FireNTexas, HeadKase01, LetsPatttty, NYMobser, and WhoWhereWhen". Kontot anses tillhöra Russ Hamilton då det, enligt uppgifter erhållna av en insider, är registrerat på hans adress. Så här säger Barry Greenstein efter ha intervjuat Russ: 1. I don't think I missed what Adam and apefish are accusing me of. We know someone cheated in the sleepless account and Russ must know who that person is, but I couldn't get it out of him. I am assuming that Shaqtack is the same person or is connected. I don't think their are bands of cheaters who didn't know each other. Going into the interview I thought I could prove that Russ controlled the sleepless account, but coming out I only know that it is a person Russ could tell to transfer money out, if it isn't him. What you guys didn't seem to understand is that I have information that you don't. I talked to someone who has gotten transfers from sleepless when they asked for money from Russ, so I didn't need that information from the fred account. When I said the fred account was unimportant, I meant it was not a cheating account, it was just Russ transferring money to people to play, and there was no reason to expose anyone on that list -- unless of course, we found out they were already on our list of cheaters. 2. The cheating method wasn't supplied by Russ. It came from the Annie Duke interview a few days earlier.

Ett sådant minimalt intresse det var här då! 420 miljoner kronor... ingen som reagerat? Hur har Aftonbladet lyckats få siffrorna så fel? Jo, de upprepade en felaktig uppgift från Igamingnews, där 6.1 miljoner dollar råkade bli 60 miljoner. Det var en enkel sak att se i fackpressen att den siffran var helt åt helvete. Aftonbladet gjorde med andra ord en kupp. Citera

cd_Gothenburg Postad 3 Oktober , 2008 Rapport Postad 3 Oktober , 2008 Det första är en stämning i domstol mellan två företag, och det andra är det belopp som utbetalats till lurade polerspelare. 60 minutes TV-programmet 60 minutes version av historien skall tydligen sändas den 26 oktober. 60 Minutes Story on Ultimate Bet Scandal May Air October 26th Posted on 29 September 2008 In addition to the buzz around the seizure of 141 internet gambling domains by the Governor of Kentucky, an upcoming story by CBS’ “60 Minutes” has also been the center of discussion at the CAP Euro Barcelona event. Poker News Daily has learned that the story by “60 Minutes” should air on Sunday, October 26th, just days before the general elections in the United States. The program will likely cover the user scandals at Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker, which have made headlines across the poker world in recent months. The story by the longstanding news magazine will focus on the scandals that have rocked Ultimate Bet and may include the POTRIPPER issues at its sister site, Absolute Poker. In addition, the rumor around the industry is that “60 Minutes” is teaming up with a major newspaper for the story, which may be just weeks from airing. In its last update on the NioNio scandal that rocked the online poker site, Ultimate Bet listed additional user names that were involved: Crackcorn55, WhakMe, GrabBag123, gravitation, Bgroup, H_Curtis, Twenty 1, WacoManiac, Broke_In_L_A, ShaqTack, BlueBerry101, HolyMucker, 55WasHere, Xnomas, dannyboy55, Indy05, and SlimPikins2. The cheating on Ultimate Bet began back in 2005, one year before its current ownership group, Tokwiro, purchased the site. Also in June, Ultimate Bet was scheduled to begin the refund process for players who were affected by the abuse. The transgressions surrounded the exploitation of an auditing tool which enabled its users to view the hole cards of every player at an online poker table. In May, Ultimate Bet’s parent company released a statement that included the following: “We would like to thank our customers for their patience, loyalty, and support, as well as for their understanding that we are doing everything we can to correct this situation. The staff and management of Ultimate Bet are fully committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our players and we want to assure customers of our unwavering resolve to monitor site security with every resource at our disposal.” Since then, one of the accounts in question was linked to a Las Vegas owned home of Russ Hamilton, one of the former owners of the site. However, no admission has been given publicly by Hamilton. Over the summer, Team PokerStars Pro member Barry Greenstein and Joe Sebok traveled to Hamilton’s residence. Greenstein came away from the interview feeling as if, by the time the truth was known, Hamilton would not be one of those indicted. A $75 million claim filed against a software manufacturer was the subject of an article by MSNBC with the title “Poker site cheating plot a high-stakes whodunit.” The article, which was published last week, seemed to trump any momentum “60 Minutes” would have had, although the television station’s program is likely to be more visible. The latest move in the Ultimate Bet investigation was the Kahnawake Gaming Commission naming Frank Catania, a former gaming regulator in the state of New Jersey, to lead a formal inquiry into the matter. His website, CataniaConsulting.com, states that he “serves as one of three independent directors of eCOGRA. He served as the first president of the International Masters of Gaming Law, a non-profit association dedicated to the education and advancement of gaming law, vice chair and chair, respectively, of the International Association of Gaming Regulators and past chairman of the Forum of American Casino Regulators.” We’ll have further information for you as it develops. http://www.pokernewsdaily.com/60-minutes-story-on-ultimate-bet-scandal-may-air-october-26th-442/ Citera

På sidan 181 av "Your worst poker enemy" skriven av Alan Schoonmaker kommer författaren med ett så här i efterhand väldigt ironiskt citat. Stycket behandlar paranoia vid pokerbordet och om man bör vara räddare för att spela online än live.

Odrike Postad 21 December , 2008 Rapport Postad 21 December , 2008 Intressanta teorier i tråden på 2+2. Någon beskrev att "buggen" skulle kunna vara resultatet av nya funktioner för fusk. Som tex att fuskaren skulle kunna bestämma att sin hand skulle bli vinnande och ändra sina hålkort innan showdown. Men i detta fall så gick något fel och handens hålkort ändrades inte. En möjlig förklaring skulle vara att de försökte välja ett kort som den andra spelaren hade som hålkort och därför utlöstes buggen och handen ändrades inte. Detta kanske är långsökta spekuleringar. Men för mig absolut möjliga. Jag är väldigt tveksam till att detta är en "oskyldig" bugg. Citera
