super-user
Absolute Poker just released a new statement about the super-user account scam through its Costa Rican neighbor PocketFives and Nat Arem on 2p2 that basically says exactly what its
The gist is that Absolute was a victim, the perp was a “consultant,” Absolute responded “immediately” every step of the way (are “stonewall” and “listlessly” synonyms of immediately?), and the problem’s been resolved and people will get their money back.
Ironically, it doesn’t claim unicorns are real.
No name appears to be attached to the statement but our guess is it’s from the guy in the image to the right.
Read the new Absolute statement after the jump.

Online gaming portal Point-Spreads.com is reporting tonight that it has well-placed sources in Costa Rica who are claiming that the Absolute Poker super-user account scam has been going on much, much longer and involves much, much more money than previously thought:
“[T]he scam has been going on for three years and the actual amount that was skimmed from online poker players is estimated at close to $7 million, not the 700k amount that was previously reported. The actual amount is still unknown as an internal audit is underway.
A former employee of Absolute Poker confirmed to Point-Spreads.com that the security department at AP suspected something years ago and we’re told it was just the owners testing out the system and to forget about it.”
Their sources are also saying what most already believed to be true, that it was Scott Tom who was observing tables using the super-user account while AJ Green (seen in photo with Gambling911′s Jenny Woo and her breasts) played as Potripper.
The story goes on to say that the plane carrying Scott Tom, his pregnant wife Gilda Cortés, Oscar Hilt Tatum IV (Absolute’s director of CS) and Tatum’s wife Sarah Bennet that crashed on the runway in Costa Rica this past September was rumored to have also been carrying a cargo of $2-3 million in cash. How anyone would know that, besides the Toms and Tatums, beats us.
Finally, sources in Costa Rica confirm what we’ve been hearing more and more from our sources, that AJ Green was a divisive personality, or put another way, a total shit-head.

We’ve been playing catch up on the Absolute Poker cheating scandal but it seems things are coming to a head now, whatever that means. In addition to
Company officials have told Gambling911.com that “Absolute had only uncovered who the culprit was Thursday” and that “no management personnel were involved in this incident” which in layman’s terms means they found a scapegoat yesterday. It also means anyone who still is playing on Absolute has the IQ of a shoe.
Finally, Gambling911.com was told that “Players who were affected by this unfortunately situation will be paid in full.” But as Paul Phillips notes in a comment to one of his own recent blog posts, it is highly unlikely that Absolute will compensate everyone who was affected by the cheating as the list extends to anyone who has ever shared a table with these guys.
What hasn’t been said yet is what will happen to the criminals who have stole hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, from online poker players for who knows how long. Tossing salad for a dozen years or so in a Costa Rican jail sounds like justice to us, but is unlikely.
