This is really amazing stuff. That Dan Druff timeline is brilliant. Don't you just love good investigative reporting???
What I find most interesting about this theory (which certainly seems plausible) is that this guy COULD have gotten away with it. He could have created a new account, and SLOWLY (relatively speaking) worked his way up through the ranks. He could have mixed winning and losing sessions, made some bad calls here and there, and never even aroused suspicion. He could have turned himself into an online poker God......... but greed takes over, and people just cna't control themselves.
Then again, maybe he figured he'd be caught sooner or later (or lose his access to account #363), so he decided to try to make as quick of a hit and run as possible.
Either way, this whole #363 thing makes it seem almost certain that something fishy was going on, and shame on Absolute for covering it up (this is givign them the benefit of the doubt and assuming they weren't already aware of this - but they certainly had the means to figure out what was going on when the data was handed to them on a silver platter).
