Saw the 60 Minutes piece, pretty well done with Steve Croft. I haven't played online in over 8 months, and I know it will be a hell of a lot longer now!
At least now I have someone to blame next time I take a bad beat

Interesting story mentioned CR and how they stole 20 million from high stakes customers. "The company, which is headquartered in a shopping mall in Costa Rica, was finally forced to acknowledge that a former employee had cracked their software code and cheated online players by looking at their cards." http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/in ... -scam.html |

Yeah, a guy released the code for the poker bots and explained how he did it step-by-step. Shocked it took this long for the media to pick it up. The code was released earlier this year if I remember correctly. |

Yeah first they said a consultant in its Costa Rica office breached its software then said former World Series of Poker champion Russ Hamilton was behind the cheating. Whoever stole all that money got away with it, so far... |
