Statement on Recent DOJ Action
Posted on 21 Apr, 2011
Absolute Poker, including the UB (formerly Ultimate Bet) brand, hereafter “Absolute Poker”, issued the following statement today.
Absolute Poker has retained Blank Rome LLP as United States counsel to provide legal advice in relation to civil and criminal matters filed in federal court in Manhattan and made public on April 15, 2011. Absolute Poker is aware that on April 19, 2011, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York entered into separate agreements with FullTilt Poker and PokerStars. These agreements concern the use of the respective www.fulltiltpoker.com and www.pokerstars.com domain names. The US Attorney, in a press release dated April 20, 2011, stated that the government is willing to enter the same agreement with Absolute Poker and UB.
At this time, Absolute Poker’s top priority is, and must be, the refund of balances to its and UB’s US players. However, given the far-reaching consequences of the US Attorney’s actions for Absolute Poker and for the entire poker community, Absolute Poker believes that the responsible course of action is to review with its attorneys the relevant court filings before taking any action.
Absolute Poker believes that the US Attorney shares the view that refunds to US players are an immediate and pressing concern, and Absolute Poker wishes to make clear that it wants to work cooperatively with the US Attorney to safely and efficiently return its players’ funds. To that end, Absolute Poker’s counsel has initiated communications with the US Attorney’s office and plans to continue proactively advancing those discussions.
Further information and timely updates will be provided to Absolute Poker/UB’s players as we move forward.
does this mean scott tom will be bought to justice over the mines he stole from the players?
also why is it your iovation still has the ocx file data frad prevention scheme on the system after all it never caught the above cheater or his internal methods used..
I believe if kgc or you lot at ap if u really want the $7,000 it will cost to analyse my hh files then something is defo very wrong ..Your kgc should be shut down for its non-review over my account and my alleged fraud on the many hundreds of hand files i have,.
Not forgetting the uboc1 sniper which I sat out of and should be refunded since I never played the event given the circumstances of non-encription over a wired network.This has to be the most unsecure site in the world when you implemented xor encription..only when you closed my account and took all my monies did you implement ssl safe socket layer technology. so yes kgc get that fing reviewed for fraud.,Because absolute poker are obvs big liars.
And i told u last year I would get the poker companys shut down , it didnt take long before that took effect over microsofts policy of secure networks and ensuring certificates were made valid etc etc. something of which this site was not. And it still does not have a valid digital signature upon download.
