| I read the whole article, which is a decent summary of what we already know. What I found very interesting was the Beyond Belief graph. This shows NioNio out in the nether reaches on a standard deviation chart. It's not him in this chart that interests me. It is what appears to be a few really really REALLY BIG LOSERS! These folks are VPIP over 70% ! I want their names! Where are they playing now? |

| re: $85 million claim filed over UltimateBet.com cheating scandal poker All the more reason to have this stuff running on servers within the States vice chancing things overseas. Rather than just a "scandal" or embarrasment, they'd serve time!! |

| re: $85 million claim filed over UltimateBet.com cheating scandal poker A correction was made on the web page. It's now $75 Million though they still don't explain how the amount has come about. I suppose it's for past and future damages. I was kind of surprised to see it on the front page of MSNBC though. |

| When you make a claim like that, before the trial actually happens, the amount has no bearing. It isn't like you sue for $$75 million, and then you get that, or you get nothing. It's just a starting point for the claim, one that will undoubtedly rise or lower once they get into negotiations, and argue why they think that is a valid claim. |
