My first thought is:
If it turns out to be a CEO, then there's an obvious lack of morality in this mans mind. Someone said something about him possibly needing a few million to pay for deals or whatever, but I don't know that money has anything to do with why someone in the CEO seat would do this. Simple lack of character could entice someone into cheating....I mean if it was that easy for you to cheat, can you honestly say to yourself that it wouldn't be an intriguing idea? That's not to say that most of us wouldn't use our heads and realize that there is way to much to risk, but the idea of it ...reminds me of cops. I've personally known dirty cops, and a childhood best friend turned dirty cop once actually said to me "it's the best job for a criminal". So, here's the CEO, watching the game and seeing everyone's hole cards thinking "man it would be so easy".
Second thought: If you had the skill sets and experience to become the CEO of a company like this, shouldn't you be smart enough to cover your tracks better? For him to use an alias that tracks back to his name through an email address is the equivalent of keeping the murder weapon. Every moron knows that the first thing you do after killing a dude, is wipe off the fingerprints, get rid of the gun and burn your clothes. At least, that's what I always do after I kill someone (Just a joke, don't need the FBI coming over to the house
). With the type of insider knowledge on how the system works, he should've done a better job of disguising himself.
Third thought: The ironic question here is, if this was regulated and taxed by the US government, would this have happened? Would it be guys like us doing the investigative work? This is yet another example of why this industry should be legalized and regulated in the US. Is our governments current stance on online poker making it any 'safer' for anyone? Hell no, and until our politicians get their heads out of their asses, this is what we're gonna get.
Final thought: The poker affiliate industry is in constant disarray. It's an industry where we spend most of our time putting out fires, arguing with AM's, chasing our paychecks, and discussing all the bullshit going on around us. What we should be doing is working on building our businesses and making a living. Am I the only one who occasionally thinks to himself "what the phuck am I doing"? Are we headed down a long path to a dead end, or is this thing ever going to turn around? How long do we wait and see? I'm sure some of you will agree, this is becoming a grind.
