Poker community is more serious with honesty than real life behind the felt itself.
Gobbomom is correct, Barry has been against UB and interested in finding out the whole truth. This is a post from Barry on Dec. 1 (funny the person I am quoting Barry also quoted and called an idiot) http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/sh...&postcount=279

When I finally gave in to the many PM's on here asking me to look into the AP and Ub cheating scandals, I decided to help publicize and try to get the companies to come clean. I never imagined idiots like this guy and others who now connect me to Russ and the case.

I realize that the evidence Ub claims it has leads directly to Russ, someone I had hardly spoken a word to before this mess. I also realize they haven't always been truthful and they have helped cover up what happened by not correctly investigating the problems.

Hopefully, Joe will get some people to talk since, at the least, other people besides Russ were involved or used. If he doesn't, he won't stay there. Or if he gets information that shows that people in managment who still work there were involved, he will leave. I don't like the inept way they handled things, so I recommended against his involvement with them.
If you know something, that is more than anecdotal, get Joe the information.
My 2 cents. What can Joe really do? These names have been known by UB and the KGC (lol) for a long time. At this point there is no more investigation, no more interviews by the COO, etc. It is over as far as they go.

But afterall, aren't these names just a list? How hard can it be to get them? I doubt they are working on a way of releasing any more names.

To the KGC, UB, Paul, or Joe - What Legal Authorities did the KGC inform? Any updates, or was that something just to say for show that sounded ok in the press release?

UB has advertising just on Seebs' blog page.

I actually forgot about PRR after I took it off my favorites when Sebok signed with UB in October. Glad to hear that it was the right decision.

Re: How goes Sebok's hunt for the real (UB) killers?

Although the lack of progress surprises no one, it is important to continue to hold him accountable for his promises. Good work, OP. We should keep bumping this thread to keep it on the front page as a reminder of Seebs' (so far) empty promises and that the rebranded UB is the same company that stole millions from its customers and never rectified the situation.

As a big fan of Barry's, I hope this doesn't tarnish his reputation by association. Having UB ads anywhere on the PokerRoad site doesn't help.

How much does it really matter that Barry is just saying what he says, but businesswise acts the complete opposite. Or is there a timespan Barry has set when the UB ads and the Poker2nite will be out of window forever?

They have probloggers like Devo and Annie Duke, so for me their faces represent UB enough to be considered as UB ads. And now they brag about that they are only semish pro UB when they have a guest like Stars Pro Dennis Phillips.

How can I be sure about the randomness of each shuffle?
We employ the same Random Number Generation system in Blackjack that has made our site world-famous for poker security and fairness. An overview of the system that we use, and the methods by which we've approached Random Number Generation and card shuffling can be found here.

Sebok will be getting together with O.J. Simpson soon to get tips on how to track down the real killers.
