Chips: 555 | | | And the Absolute Poker investigation winds down... Could have been a lot worse. There was no super-user account, but there was a "security hole" that the cheaters exploited for $800K. I don't see much of a dropoff in AP users, so other than the $1.6 Million repaid (which isn't peanuts, but is probably just a small blip on their radar) AP didn't do all that terrible in this mess.
