The first order of business with my position at Ub has been to help aid in the release of not only ALL of the hand histories from the super-user scandal, but also the accounts that were used to perpetuate the scandal itself and the actual physical names of those individuals who we believe to have been directly involved in disparate ways with the actual cheating.

I am disappointed.

As most of you know, two-thirds of this has now been accomplished. "

I could be wrong, but I only count 1/3 of these things being done.

I'd expect more from a relative of Bear.

lol.

I'd be shocked if he got all that done and expect to see him fail and give up on all that in less than a month.

So Vanessa can con PS into signing Chad Brown , but Barry can't get Joe a deal ?

RIGGED !

makdeeznuts · 09-22-2009, 12:27 AM

wonder how much he got paid..........

exoendo · 09-22-2009, 12:28 AM

I can't even listen to pokerroad now after hearing this, knowing they'll be shelling for UB from time to time. It's a big disappointment, I expected better from Joe. This is pathetic.

Joe Sebok Discusses Ultimate Bet Signing

Quote:

PND: How much did the Kahnawake Gaming Commission’s (KGC) release of the Ultimate Bet cheating scandal report influence your decision to sign?

Sebok: It was one of my insistences before coming onto the team. We needed to get those superuser account names out in the open and make accessible all hand histories to all players who request them. The only way to close that loop is to simply be completely transparent. UB had done a poor job in the initial go-around when the scandal hit, but hopefully has learned now and will make up for it with their actions moving forward. I also want to see the names of other associated cheaters with Russ Hamilton brought into the light. I understand the legal ramifications for why it’s not as simple as releasing them outright, but am working with Paul towards doing as much as we can to get those names out there. I think it’s important for the poker community as a whole to know those names, even if it’s basically impossible to prosecute them as things stand today. It’s all about doing the right thing and UB will definitely be doing the right things moving forward.
