Absolute Poker

Wow.  I have been reading a thread at pocketfives.com and Jared "TheWacoKidd" Hamby has posted a very interesting claim of cheating on Absolute.  If you would like to check it out follow this:
 
http://www.pocketfives.com/445F78F0-7D44-4F3B-AF24-0AFA96F28812.aspx
 
 I tend to believe their claims but I hope it is all some kind of joke, because the potential bad press this could recieve if it blows up could be terrible for the legal future of online poker.

That is a link to the first of 4 videos that were put together to show how "perfectly" this "POTRIPPER" (read: cheater) played.

Don't know if you've continued to keep up on this but it's getting bigger.
 
This story has made the AP wire (very legitimate news source) as well as Shoutwire (non-poker website where people post interesting news stories).  Don't have the link for the AP post, but here's the link for shoutwire
 
http://www.shoutwire.com/viewstory/110517/Turns_Out_One_Online_Poker_Site_Is_Rigged
 
which links to many more parts of this story not covered in the post you mentioned. 
 
Thanks for making me aware of this as early as you did!

OK, sorry for continuing to comment on my own post, but one last thing I noticed while looking over the hand history was that Potripper won 13 of 15 hands heads up against CrazyMarco who is a very well-respected online player.  I know that isn't impossible but it is obviously very unlikely and just adds to the case against him.

...The hand history is full of crazy hands like these.  He plays about 80% (my own rough estimate) of the hands and only folds when JJ+ has been dealt out.  He raises with 62o UTG in one hand, but several hands later folds KQ UTG when AA is dealt behind him.  After seeing the hands posted in this thread I have no doubt in my mind that this player could see the players hole cards (not the community cards ahead of time just hole cards).  Anyone have any thoughts?
