Ultimate Bet – Super User Scandal: A Story of Sex?

April 15th, 2011 by

When it comes to bring developments to the scandal of Super User Accounts rooms Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet, you can count on DonkDown Radio, Haley Hintze, and Joe Sebok. In recent weeks, these three promoters have added further fuel to the fire by removing many gray areas on the biggest case of cheating ever committed in the history of online poker. The latest progress of the investigation reveal further acts of cheating and make new suspicions against Greg Pierson, the director’s original UltimateBet.

Trafficking password

On Wednesday, March 16, 2011, Radio DonkDown revisiting the idea previously presented by Travis Makar employees of UltimateBet had committed acts of cheating that goes well beyond the scandal super user accounts. According DonkDown Radio, employees identified cheaters player accounts with a balance extremely high, accessing these accounts by changing their passwords to then transfer money into their own personal account or by performing a transfer between accounts, or making the chip dumping tables. To carry out this crime, employees of Ultimate Bet sent the players targeted a “security alert” email stating that the password for their account had been preemptively changed the room itself for security reasons.

To substantiate his remarks posted on his website DonkDown an email security in question belonging to a user who cheated Ultimate Bet has corroborated the allegations of cheating Makar who continued well after the replacement of the management team the room as indicated by the timing of the email in question.

While this email in itself can not be considered as evidence, the player who provided explains that his attempts to obtain further information regarding this change password have been in vain, simply ignored by UB. Todd Wittels, co-presenter DonkDown provides many examples on the Radio Forum of the benefits that can remove the cheaters from a change of password, and specifies that Full Tilt Poker or Pokerstars never change the passwords their users on their own initiative. This new discovery provides unquestionably the grist allegations of Makar.

Sebok addresses TwoPlusTwo

Encouraged by his friend Shane Schleger, Joe Sebok has started a thread on the forum twoplustwo.com to post their own comments on the investigation into the scandal of super users accounts.

In that thread, Sebok summarizes the main facts about UlitmateBet superuser scandal which are summarized below:

He admits that the new management staff of UB has made mistakes but do not think in any case:

a) the staff has actively assisted the cheats to commit or conceal their actions
b) has falsified the historical hands to cover acts of cheating
c) has attempted to conceal the facts to minimize damages and reimbursements related to acts of cheating

• UB Sebok and hopes that all information relating to the investigation are revealed
• UB does not censor, do not support and do not control what is said or Sebok
• Sebok continues to believe that the leadership of UB have nothing to do with the previous leaders
• TwoPlusTwo Sebok explained that he will answer questions posed by users twoplustwo the extent reasonable.

Sebok has indeed answered the questions of choice and tried to gather the facts of the scandal super user accounts in a coherent puzzle. Questions and answers are compiled in a thread that has received considerable attention during these days and can be read in its entirety on twoplustwo .

Assumptions Haley Hintze, Volume 30

Haley Hintze was probably one of the most zealous investigators in connection with the case of super users and no doubt as needed as the lead authority in this situation. On his blog, Hintze has posted a substantial amount of information in a folder titled “Just Conjecturin.” (Hypotheses). In Volume 30 of its report entitled “Naming Names – Greg Pierson (give names), Hintze said Greg Pierson, president and ieLogic iovation, the firm engaged in the management of UB and AP computers, linked very close to the case of the Super User Accounts.

A history of sex?

In his blog, Hintze explains how the wife of Greg Pierson, Janelle Lynn Pierson, had to engage in lengthy and expensive legal battle after having had an affair with a schoolboy whom she was the teacher. This case would have plunged the couple Pierson in dire financial situation and this could well be the motivation that initiated the scandal super users accounts.

Hintze then mentioned the fact that Pierson, thanks to its favorable position occupied within the company would have had all the latitude necessary to develop the program with God Mode Russ Hamilton and his accomplices Matloubi Mansour. Holding the reins in the gasworks of computer programming, Pierson would have secured the cooperation of Hamilton and Matloubi, the two bosses Executive Ultimate Bet to insert the program code God Mode within the software client to beginning the vast operation of cheating.
Hintze also suggests that eventually cooled Pierson and threatened by the discovery of super users accounts would allow others to commit acts of cheating to cover his tracks and ensure coverage, leaving Hamilton in particular front line. Hintze’s argument, we simply summarize here, is widely supported by a series of many facts and circumstances which may constitute real evidence that encourage and strongly support his hypothesis.

Gepts 2011 Live: 200 students expected to Pougues-les-Eaux

April 15th, 2011 by

Kara Thibault, like many students of his generation, is passionate about poker. Member of Skema Poker Club, the organizing team Grandes Ecoles Poker Tour (GEPT 2011) you will find the story live on PokerNews throughout this Saturday, March 26 from 15h, it tells us more about this event that brings together the cream future forces of the nation.
Gepts: poker, and usability studies

Student at the School of Business Skema Sophia-Antipolis (between Nice and Antibes), Kara Thibault took over the Gepts created four years ago by members of the association of Skema Poker Club (formerly Ceram Poker Club ). “There were three editions since Gepts” says he, “the first in 2007 which took place at the Concorde Club in Paris, followed by a second in 2010 which was played in Pougues-les-eaux and this year we organize the third “.

Qualified in their schools through tournaments or Sit’n gos as was the case at the University Dauphine (to a maximum rate of ten per school), students will now find itself at the heart of the Hexagon to test their competitive spirit, but also and above all the pleasure of player. “It is really looking to do something friendly,” insists Thibault, reinforced by the esprit de corps of well-known high schools: “There are a lot of mutual support between competitors, there are even organizations that bring students just to support their players! ”

But gradually as the tournament progresses, the competitive spirit reasserts itself: “in the final is tension and a lot of people around the table, the mood changes and every school wants to see one of their Representatives to succeed at the game. ”
200 students expected at the Casino Tranchant

In terms of participation, “the number of players has always fluctuated between 100 and 150. The fact that the event was put on hold for two years has been detrimental” to its evolution, “but this year it will be much better and attracting more and more players. ”

In the end they are “about thirty graduate school will be present this year, although the party did not make the IUT and BTS, although I admit to not being too agree on this point will eventually be change the rules next year to make this possible, “said Kara Thibault.

Nearly 200 players are expected to Casino Pougues-les-Eaux, chosen for its central location yet within two hours from Paris, but also for the unfailing support of the tournament host, “The Edge Group has any has now joined our project, it’s been two years that they are partners and casino Pougues-les-Eaux gives us a central location and a part of perfect game. ”
The student poker boom

Most of the Grandes Ecoles and Universities of France are live poker live within their institutions is through clubs associations, echoing several U.S. studies that showed that nearly a quarter of students felt the same poker as a means of finance their education.

In 2010, nearly 3,000 students participated in the qualifications of the Grandes Ecoles Poker Tour among a hundred schools of which forty were represented at the final Pougues-les-Eaux. “ESC Most have an association, all major universities also overall poker is now everywhere “says Kara Thibault.

Though poker is mixed calculation and luck, the craze for Gepts is anything but a coincidence. Not only students are putting more and more poker, but poker intrudes itself back into the course of the latter: “we use game theory in microeconomics, as the prisoner’s dilemma proves that decision making does not take into account all factors may be doomed to failure “says Kara Thibault.

Among the reasons for the development of poker student who leads the revival of Gepts, democratization of poker rampant in France is not the slightest, but it is also and especially the efforts of students involved in the tournament that bears fruit , especially to develop “communication has played a big role this year through leading partners such as NRJ or PokerNews.
Kara Thibault: The Gepts, “a challenge” in team

Personally, Kara Thibault in Gepts found something to satisfy several passions while participating in the development of poker student: “It is a great project, we really wanted to do a poker tournament that have a reputation and be ignored. C is gratifying to be able to organize an event of this magnitude. I want to work in the community ‘, marketing events, this requires very different skills such as team management, press relations … etc. As given that I’m a fan of poker, when I saw an association suggested that post I immediately wanted to meet the challenge. ”

A challenge which have supported many good wishes as Emmanuel Pavon (association president), Brice Logut (its predecessor), Matthew Jurado and Brice Maurin (vice presidents), who have taken up the torch and the creator of Aubry and Gepts Defernez Malthieu Vultagio (organizer, 2010). “I must also thank the entire team Skema Poker Club has done a tremendous job for the 2011 edition keeps its promises,” made ??a point Thibault.
