Bit more on the AP cheating

http://wickedchopspoker.blogs.com/my_weblo...ute-shocke.html


Point-Spreads.com sources in Costa Rica are claiming the Absolute Poker Super-User account 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.

Our sources have confirmed that Scott Tom was using the Super-User to sit at tables as an "observer" as online poker player PotRipper would join the tournaments and Scott would tell him what cards people have so they can win the tourney and split the money. PotRipper is Alan “AJ” Green, formerly of Nine.com and the now former Operations Director for Absolute Poker. Point-Spreads.com has learned AJ’s real name but has chosen to withhold it at this time. AJ is pictured with Gambling911.com's sexy reporter Jenny Woo at an expensive dinner in Amsterdam back in 2005.

Where did the $7 million go? On September 3rd, 2007 a small jet plane caught on fire before taking off on the runway at San Jose Juan Santamaria International Airport in Costa Rica. The two passengers on the private jet were Scott Tom and his pregnant wife. His wife was rushed to the hospital to make sure everything was alright with the baby. The plane's destination was Colombia and the rumored cargo on the plane was $2-3M in cash. Officials at Absolute Poker confirmed to Point-Spreads.com that Tomm was on the jet, however, deny any money was onboard.

While at Nine.com, AJ had a portrait done of himself that hung on his wall over his desk. The photo was a picture of him "American Beauty' style laying spread out on his futon covered in hundred dollar bills. Were the bills in the photo proceeds from the Absolute Poker Super-User scam? AJ joined the Absolute Poker team approximately one month before Nine.com left Costa Rica for Curacao. While living in Costa Rica, AJ bought a house in Escazu outright with cash and no one questioned how a guy making $50k a year could do that. He invested $100k into Absolute Poker and became a shareholder of the online poker giant, still no on questioned where he came up with the cash. Could it have come from the Super-User scam? We would love to ask AJ that question, but apparently he is on the lam.

At this point, AJ Green has earned the title of the most disliked person in the history of internet gambling? Apparently he was so disliked by his own employees that they blew the whistle on him and the whole scam but the real people that are pissed at him are all of the people pushing for legitimizing the internet gambling industry at its most needed hour. Not to mention, the online poker players he stole from.

And a little more from the same site.
Several Point-Spreads.com sources have confirmed that the Absolute Poker Super User account scammer AJ Green and another sportsbook associate were attempting to open up a sportsbook in Costa Rica. Could he have been using the ill gotten gains from the Absolute Poker Scandal? It sure does sound like it from what we are hearing coming out of Central America. The other associate of Green was a former sportsbook executive known as "Powers" that was rumored to steal customer databases from the places he worked at before leaving.

A Point-Spreads.com source stated "I can confirm the sportsbook deal with that Powers guy...a sportsbook started with stolen money..in fact this could be the whole reason for the scam because AJ is too cheap to spend his own money."

As recently as October 22nd, the pair "walked into some place to look at office space and the owner told them to 'get the fuck out' as he knew about the poker scam," stated a second well connected source in Costa Rica. AJ Green, the Absolute Poker Super User scammer, appears to be on the lam with online gambling information website Gambling911.com stating he was last seen in Panama City, Panama. A recent report stated Green was using the services of armed bodyguards after the news broke of his involvement in the scandal. How can a "consultant" making approximately 50k per year afford bodyguards?

"AJ Green seemed like the type of guy you would find in a sportsbook," stated professional poker player Mark Seif in a video on the VegasRaw.tv website today. "He had a free spirit....He liked to party, he had long hair...we certainly did not talk about any hole cards."

Seif went on to state he met AJ Green in Costa Rica twice and that Absolute has already paid out "upwards of over $1 million dollars already" in refunds to online poker players.

Point-Spreads.com first reported that the actual amount of the Absolute Poker Super User scam was approximately $7 million and spans over three years.

"I think this type of incident could have happen on Poker Stars, I think it could have happened at Full Tilt. I think it could happen anywhere. The real issue is how the company handles it after the fact!"

We could not agree more and believe Joe Norton, the former Grand Chief of the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake and the 100% owner of Absolute Poker parent company Tokwiro Enterprises ENRG will do the right thing in this situation which thrusts his Indian tribe directly into the internet gambling spotlight. Norton releases a statement about the Super User Account Scandal to all registered account Absolute Poker accountholders on October 21st, 2007.

The online poker giant has the funds to survive this storm and we believe all players that were effected will be reimbursed after an internal audit, an audit by Gaming Associates and a audit by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission are completed. This is anticipated to conclude over the next several weeks. Absolute Poker could actually come out stronger than every if they play their cards right this time around!
