It's simply bewildering how long this bot ring has been around operating the same bot profiles and how much money it has taken out of all of online poker in total over at least the last half decade.
They've operated on almost every big site and still operate on some of the biggest sites to this very day. The first I heard about them was the PLO bot ring that was outed here on 2+2 back in 2015. It's possible, perhaps even likely, that they operated on other sites before that.
We know a lot about their unique play-style which gives them away pretty quickly to anybody who has played a lot of hands with them.
Several regs know how to spot them on new accounts fairly quickly, but sites still can't, or choose not to, consistently keep them off of their tables.
We know that the majority of them are on accounts registered from Russia and Eastern European countries.
As far as I'm aware, we still don't have conclusive proof of where they are coming from. The best guess I've seen so far is the information provided in the
Corporation Botfarm thread. I'm not even sure if that is the source.
They've been around for at least a half decade. How have they not had any disgruntled former employees that have come out and provided us with information about the source of these bots? Have there simply been far fewer actual operators than I imagined there was operating large amounts of them themselves?
They've literally stolen millions of dollars from online poker players for at least a half of a decade. How has nobody in the poker community, any poker news source, investigated and gotten to the bottom of this yet?
