It's hard to compete with all the misinformation you get on here. A high stakes player I know claims that he knows the five guys who did the playing on the cheating accounts and they don't pin it on Russ [Hamilton]. The big evidence that UB had was that some money got transferred into Russ' account from cheating accounts. The explanation that the cheaters gave is that they owed Russ the money from losing at gambling before the cheating conspiracy.

I can't guarantee Russ wasn't in on it, as I have said, but I still think this is a case that UB and the justice system could easily solve if they wanted to. UB promised that they would give the public their evidence after they pinned it on Russ, but they never did. I hope we do get the real answers because I am curious if Russ was involved.

Mike [Matusow] swears on his life that Russ cheated him, because Mike can't believe Russ could beat him legitimately. (I think Mike is a favorite over Russ at O8 also, by the way.) I have other circumstantial evidence against Russ, but I don't have any hard evidence against him.

Russ has offered to tell me what he knows about what happened, but then I'm not allowed to talk about it. I don't want to be put in that position, especially since I have no way to determine if it's the truth.

Barry

I am not going to argue with Barry. I would like to figure a few things out. Barry said this about Mike Matusow, which is true:
Quote [in bold]:
Mike swears on his life that Russ cheated him, because Mike can't believe Russ could beat him legitimately.

Mike has also gone on the record of saying he has seen all the evidence, is certain Russ is guilty, and will take him to court later this year. So Matusow isn't just basing his opinion on the fact he got beat. Here is the interview Mike gave: http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=RerIVAaIb0s

Also, Barry didn't mention how Annie came on PokerRoad radio on 12-15-08 and confirmed she is certain Russ is guilty, she has seen the evidence as well.

Now If the evidence they have both been privy to states Russ did it and they are certain, but Barry has doubts, then I think it is safe to say that UltimateBet has not been truthful and likely covered up something. Thus making Russ the fallguy.There are more than just transfers linking Russ, according to Paul Leggett, there are IP addresses, home addresses, player names, among other things.

Who owned Russ Hamilton's address and sold him the place, or maybe it was vice-versa? Who used to be the fraud manager at UB, but has then worked as a compliance officer for Russ at his BlackJack company ClubUBT, now CLUBUWIN?

These people I am not naming yet have done things to cover their tracks. Deleted pictures off the internet, changed Resume's to further themselves from Russ or UB, Were the players really able to cashout just b/c they were seen as VIP professionals, or was it b/c the person approving the Cashouts was in on it, here initials were after a few cashouts, these people changed websites after the scandal broke, go by different names after the were outed on 2+2, it goes on and on. These 3 people probably know something for sure.

Just a guess, but I think Ultimate Bet's "super user" cheat list will leak out like baseball's "steroid user" cheat list.
