They had won over 30k combined and started playing at the same time and only in don's together. I just wonder how big this scandal was....and how much it affected us regs.....I'm just saying that Pokerstars had every opportunity to catch this almost a year ago
consider as well all the chinese new accounts that jumped into the stud games as well in the similar type scandal and it seems like Stars should have been able to at least keep a closer eye on the group. Parts of it as well as the Stud thing (with perhaps the very same players) strike me as strange and I do think it is somewhat concerning that it took Stars this long to bust it.
I don't know much about the farm stuff being mentioned but that all makes it seem even stranger to me.
This as well as some of jorj's statements about his collusion catching in his SNG's as well as the furbean/fua thing that seemed to go on for much longer than it probably should have all combine to leave with the impression that the security and collusion-detection at Stars is not as effective as it should be.
I know it's easy to armchair-quarterback this stuff AFTER they've already been caught and to nitpick and whine that they should have been caught earlier. But these recent example seem clear to me and are kind of frightening.
Somebody copied an e-mail they received from Stars support in the SNE Pursuit thread about why it took them so long to catch furbean/fua...and some of the things they said were quite alarming to me. There was stuff about how subtle their collusion was, etc which I just thought seemed plain strange to say.
