In all honesty, I have (had) no intention of continuing to spend X amount of time every day documenting more Cereus scandal(s) fallout and/or security holes. For one thing, it makes us all look bad to even admit they still exist. For another, I should be busy doing stuff like "playing poker" and/or "playing more poker" (for which I at least get paid Sklansky dollars) and should not have to spend yet another hour of my life bitching about a network that's busy not paying attention.

Thus, when it turned out that a self-proclaimed "disconnect at the wrong time" gave Phil Hellmuth a pot that should have been shipped to the other guy, I ignored it in the interests of my sanity. Sure, that was pretty much the worst possible bug for any poker site to have short of giving my deposit to someone else, and sure, in the process of fixing it, they apparently accidentally repeated the error 36 times (yes, really), but unless they are the dumbest cheaters in history (nope, that was AJ Green) or Hellmuth has some ridonkulous disconnect switch in his client software left over from the Russ H. era (obviously a longshot, but at this point I can't even rule out the Polish Mafia), that did seem to be a bug rather than a deliberate cheating attempt. Never mind that Phil Hellmuth and an $8000 pot were involved on a site where the distribution of $8 pots to $8000 pots is rather high; new management = benefit of the doubt, right?

Bugs are one thing, though; on a site that has the history Cereus does, the most important issue has to be to prevent all further cheating attempts. That's why I'm mildly (but not overly) surprised that, according to this 2+2 thread, you can enter your old AP account and UB account into the same tournaments. Paging JJProdigy!

Because I wanted to put it behind me/stop caring/knew it wouldn't work, I never formally boycotted UB or AP and never called for one. Although I never had any money in my AP account, I did have a few thousand at UB and played the weekly 200K with it, though I wasn't about to redeposit anything. At this point, unless it turns out I have no good way to cash out, my remaining $778 are going elsewhere. If I can't do that, I'll donk it off in the next three and a half tournaments I see with an overlay (because even if I have to save them money, I'm not actually paying them rake) and never play there again regardless. I don't really care if nobody pays attention; I'm just not going to waste my time with these guys. It's obvious they're not taking security cereusly even after they got taken for eight figures, and it's just as obvious that nobody in their right mind should voluntarily have a single dollar at Cereus.
