I don't think the official statement is out yet, although according to some earlier reports it would be out about now. During the last few hours several sites have reported slightly different things, all supposedly coming from Absolute, and there is an idea circulating that Absolute are testing the water, trying to find what they can get away with in their statement, and checking what counterarguments they will have to deal with if the official statement says this or that.
The line they seem to be taking, though, is this:
It was a rogue employee, trying to prove to them that their system was insecure. He never intended to keep the money. Scott Tom had nothing to do with it, the employee just set it up to look like it was down to him.
This isn't even funny. There are just so many logical holes in it.
Ratty can explain it in detail, but it's done using the PXF software, input of code and HH histories allows you to see it in animated format,so thats what you are seeing!
When all else fails deny and make up an excuse. It worked for the gitar player from the WHO when he was caught with kiddie-porn

COLDPLAY, it's a long story now. There was a big tourney on Absolute, the chap called a big all-in with T-high, when his opponent was on a 9-high flush draw. The chap who lost complained that POTRIPPER, the winner, must have seen his hole cards to have made that call. And eventually somebody at Absolute sent him a spreadsheet of the hand-histories.
The spreadsheet had everybody's hole cards on it. It was sent out in error, they are saying now. It's not that surprising, I think, that they can have hand-histories after the event that show all the hole-cards. But it is obvious that the hole cards were being relayed to POTRIPPER. That's basically it.
