Re: Possibly superusers on Cake -- Lee Jones responds

Obviously alot of other posters have picked up on my points.

I've worked in consulting. The folks hired here are way more competent than what I would expect from a consulting company, on average. They might have better statistical training but in no way would I expect them to understand the poker nuances.

Edit: I think it's impressive that Cake/Lee hired who they did.

The management consulting firm I worked for would absolutely have done the same. You do not want to hire one of these big firms to do a very esoteric job (which from their perspective, auditing poker accounts for collusion would be), because they are far better at sounding like they're experts than in actually being experts. The money is in selling work, not in doing it well, and they behave accordingly.

Re: Possibly superusers on Cake -- Lee Jones responds

Does Cake offer RSA (or similar) security tokens?

I accept what you and Loz are saying but the fact is Cake have done nothing but lie & obfuscate during this whole debacle and their latest attempt at appearing to be an upfront and customer facing company is to have a completely internal revue with any information released totally controlled by themselves. It's horse****. I know it, they know it and I'm sure you know it.

Re: Possibly superusers on Cake -- Lee Jones responds

In hopes of giving the "Internet Poker/Independent Investigation into Cake Poker Issue" thread a bump, I posted an activity update over there earlier today. If you enjoy long, rambling posts, you'll like what you see. Warning: Contains investigation content.

So as not to downplay the import of NVG, the post refers readers back here to learn about high dollar auditors. Enjoy.
