PocketFives just received a phone call from Absolute Poker confirming the suspicions of the online poker community over the past month. While we need to be vague in this post to respect their wishes, we can say that their systems were compromised, and that they are prepared to provide the details in a statement coming shortly.
Part of the statement will include a plan to refund players affected by this compromise.
We are extremely relieved to hear this outcome, as our most important goal in all this is to see justice given to those who were cheated in this process. Pocketfives is extremely proud to have played a part in the process of uncovering the impropriety that has occurred. We would of course like to thank all the other parties who played a key role in this process—specifically the folks that have been posting here and at twoplustwo.com.
This is great news for everyone. Keep your eyes out for the statement.
Extremely Relieved,
--Adam

OMG. You are the best. I was explaining this to a non-poker player friend. It was so clear a month ago based on the regular HH that there was cheating. AP could have easily looked at the cards and known there was a problem. They also could have seen the IP addresses and user accounts and known their was a problem. So the real scandal in my mind is that they covered this up. What are they going to say now? Adam, or someone else needs to question them on the original statement regarding how they did the investigation and found no wrong doing.10/19/07
