UB Scandal. Shit is hitting the fan
Surprised there's nothing on here about this yet. On February 16th, Travis Makar, one of the big names from the UB scandal called into a radio show and dropped a shitload of information. Lot's of really interesting stuff came from this interview and hopefully this will eventually blow the whole thing wide open and we can all finally know what the fuck is going on.
Interview: Contains transcript as well as stream of the show.

as for their newest "friedman" i think UB is paying him boats and boats of cash just for him to say it because of how bad he was burned to shed light on it....this is one place i WILL NOT EVER play at, never been there or deposited, all i have to say is, im that lucky to not be there!!
I'm really surprised at how long it took for Phil to leave the site. I'm hoping he can shed some light on the whole situation as well, it probably won't happen but one can hope. I'm sure he has a lot of dirt on them. Also, Prahlad pretty much sold his soul when he signed with them. But I'm sure being on the payroll is probably the only way he will eventually get the money that's owed to him.
Except for Russ, of course.
I just can't understand why people would continue to play on either site especially after all of this.
LOL'ed Annie Puke borrowing money to buy a house in LA and turning around and saying F-U I am not paying it back ...........
caught up on the threads, some crazy shit. the new thought is ub may have had an issue where anyone could change their registry and see hole cards. The question now is could anyone have done it. and there is a suggestion now that some people had access to anyones account they wanted through a loophole in the security questions (when you say you forgot your password).
So the idea is (they aren't sure about this yet but its new info being sorted through) someone could log into a random account, see everyone's hole cards win money transfer it out and leave the same balance....then never touch the account again.....its not a solid idea yet but the possibility seems there
and theres a hand where hellmouth loses but the pot is shipped to him....wtf is that? i haven't finished that thread though.....
I have an idea...why don't we get the us government to run the online poker....that way there won't be any corruption ???
See bold. That is from I think a couple of years back. Have still yet to see any real proof of it as it's so easy to doctor hand history for posting on a thread. Not saying it couldn't have happened, just that I have yet to see real proof.

He (PH) has personally commented on the wrongly awarded pot. They claimed a glitch because "doubleballer" (I think it was) was temporarily disconnected or something of the sort. It happened.
i think this will be significant again thought, because disconnecting is not gonna do that and the important point was it was a pot with helmouth, which is quite a coincidence. will read more though...
