I'll probably misapply some tidbits, but here is the jist of the recent commotion.

Scott Tom, cofounder of Absolute Poker has had his e-mail address/IP address linked back to him from account #363. This account was seen observing POTRIPPER, the account that somehow made these awesome maniac reads that lead him to victory in the 1k absolute tourney that runs weekly i believe. What is interesting about this is that when account #363 was not observing POTRIPPER, POTRIPPER folded both of the two hands he was not observing. An interesting tidbit considering this guy was literally playing every hand.

As to how people got this information on who was observing, the 2nd place finisher in this tournament thought something was up and asked for the entire hand history for that tournament. What was sent to him was an excel file of every hand in the tournament, along with the ip addresses/email addresss of every player and observer that was at every table. People have done some investigative work over at 2+2 and have found the above information.
