Blah Blah Blah... You'd be surprised how many companies you support on a regular basis aren't on the Up and Up. Not excusing the situation but at least this company has tried to rectify/acknowledge the situation to some extent and is most likely not going to let this sort of thing happen again. If you were CEO what would you do? Would you wish IBM and BAYER to stop existing in light of their past transgressions? Bashing Soebok for joining a company that has acknowledged its wrongdoing is simply lol. Plus you have no idea what other sites have done in the past or present

Umm... yes, you are.

And you're doing it in a post filled with arguments that have been debated to death in the ub-threads already.

And by 'acknowledged its wrongdoing' you mean going "it wasn't us! it was the other guys! You know, the guys we won't say who are except for the one really obvious one! But you can trust us on the rest! Really! They're bad people! Bad people who are in no way related to us" ?

Some solid logic right there. Out of curosity, who did you get to turn your computer on?

It's tough to balance things that link to Joe's personal stuff (blog and twitter tournament) now that he has a connection to UB and keep them separate from PokerRoad. We compromised that UB advertising would have to wait until we feel they have completed what Joe is asking for, in regard to the scandal.

any updates?
has UB completes what Joe has been asking for?

I'm just stunned at the extremely low number of hand histories handed out after all this time and not at all stunned that they didn't do the refunds correctly (still probably haven't).

UB has created an indifference among those cheated and that has worked to their advantage.

Also- rubbr's points seem valid.

any updates?
have all the HH been handed out?
will players be able to prove from the HH they got shorted on the refunds?
will UB's stalling tactic work?

Still no all of the HHs available?
