Well, first off Paul Leggat the man everyone says is clean as a whistle was the CEO of AP when that site stole millions from it's players. He's either a pretty bad CEO to have that kind of widespread fraud happen on his watch, or worse if he knew it was happening. If there was any transparency at all with regards to either scandal we would have more to base his credibility on.
Second, don't you think it's a little silly of them to ask us to believe that all the bad eggs are gone without telling us who they are or exactly how they could pull it off?
As for the money, how do we know they've paid all the money back? Again, because they said so? Why not release all the hand histories so we can judge for ourselves?
"Hey, we stole money from you but we're giving it back. Were not going to tell you how much, just trust that we are a bunch of good guys and are doing the right thing."
I guess a better analogy would be for that guy to give you back some of what he stole from you and say "I don't know what your talking about dude, that's all there was".
In the latest press release, Leggat says that more accounts were added to the superuser list. If there were more users, why wouldn't there be more refunds?

I totally agree that the aftermath of the scandal was horribly mismanaged, and I hate the damage that was done to the legitimacy of online poker, but are we ever going to forgive them and accept that different people are in charge? This company is not going away, and they seem to be on the up and up at this point. Like honestly, what more do you people want from them?
1. Stop the ridiculous shell game with regards to who owns what.
2. Stop stalling with information.
3. Tell us who did it and how exactly.
4. Release hand histories to anyone who played with the thieves.
5. Tell us what agencies are they reporting this to.
I'm sure there are things I left out others can elaborate.

Not to mention all these nvgtards trashing for someone for taking a lucrative financial opportunity that would never be possible for them. It's really easy to get on your high horse and bash someone from behind your keyboard, but what it comes down to is the fact that playing tournament poker for a living is really ****ing hard, not to mention at the same time attempting to swing a flailing business into profitability at the same time. How could any of you (save a very select few) ever know what your decision would be in that scenario when you're getting paid an exorbitant sum of money to wear a ****ing patch?
Well, for Joe it's not exactly just wearing a patch, but I agree with the rest of this.

Also those who say that they won't listen to pokerroad anymore b/c of this are really really silly.
Agreed.
