Not sure if you guys are still keeping your eye on this but its really starting to get heated. Russ Hamilton, a poker pro, has now been implicated with some damning evidence. Russ has ties to UP/AP in terms of being an owner at one time or still is an owner. Nat, the main guy on 2plus2 that has been sort of the investigator of this story from the start has now been threatened in some manner. He no longer feels safe to keep posting any more info as of today. He moved to Costa Rica recently for job purposes so not sure how safe he would feel there anyway. This is really going to get to be a bigger story as 60 Minutes has already been preparing a piece for the last several months to air in the fall. This smells of some major cover up and probably has money laundering and other crimes (besides fraud) potentially involved so not be surprised to see if the FBI, IRS, or other is or has picked this up yet. Worth keeping an eye on for sure.

I've forwarded on my info to a few trusted sources and they can take it from there.

Nat has posted proof that at least 3 of what may have been as many as 30 fake accts were run from Russ Hamiltons home address in Las Vegas.
Russ has been stealing since 05 at least.
This rip-off is bigger than Aces Gold. This man and his cronies have been stealing their customers blind for close to 4 yrs for untold millions of dollars.
Nat is a damn good guy but he may be in serious rtouble outing this bunch. They have millions behind them and im sure are well connected in Costa Rica.
Russ Hamilton has to be blacklisted for this minimum...I dont think Doyle would let him sit as his table if he's heard about this.
There will certainly be something to talk about now during the 3 month wait till the final table.

AbsolutePoker/UltimateBet.... same company. I know where theyir offices are located, my best friend used to work there as a VIP host... he indeed told me a lot of weird shit happened within the company. He resigned yesterday, got a job in NYC... lucky for him since i think they will end up losing most of their customers
