From BBC News this morning:

A former Pokerstars employee, speaking anonymously to the 5 live Investigates programme, said that the site's rapid expansion caused problems.

"We had a hard job keeping up, just because of the volume of complaints from players [about suspected cheating]," he said.

"Not that all of the complaints were legitimate - 95% were just bitter [customers] because they lost, and there was no collusion. But Pokerstars still pledged to investigate them all."

However, the former employee also claims that during his time working for Pokerstars, staff switched off the automatic alerts that flagged up possible cases of collusion because they were so overwhelmed by the number of alerts popping up.

Pokerstars did not wish to comment on the claims made by their former employee.

nice one PS..

Just read this topic and i must say that there are still bots, even peopel at tables talk about them and they dont even respond, all they do is push fold preflop. Some names are mentioned here and i just saw one guy at table, so he is not banned.

This is really weird because if you have drug money or stolen money you can easy launder it trough pokerstars by setting up bots to laudern it and you will not even loose a penny.

This is making me scare that soon goverment could sign and investigate were did this money come/go and if it finds some illegal activity maybe our money will not be safe at PS.

Please comment on this, because new year is comming and i was thinking to play some serious poker at pokerstars and now i read this topic...

So he's a bot based on not responding to you in the chat and playing push fold poker with a 20bb stack?

Just happened across this post and figured dadaas should get credit for a pretty stellar prediction...
