Related Articles
In the latest attempt to get to the truth about cheating and the suspected superuser scandal at UltimateBet, some 2+2 members have compiled all known information about the account “nionio” in one thread.
The massive post by 2+2 member “Cornell Fiji” covers just about everything there is to know, from UltimateBet’s relationship with Absolute Poker, the poker site where one superuser account was already uncovered, to data showing nionio’s ridiculously abnormal win rates. The post also details how it became apparent that the person or persons using the nionio account were allowed to change names of accounts, close accounts and open new ones. It names 11 total accounts that may have been involved:
These suspicious accounts were:
Flatbroke33, iLike2win, monizzzle, nionio, nopaddles, nymobser, nvtease, sleeplesss, stoned2nite, utakeit2, and whackme44Prior to January 8th, 2008, the day that the allegations were posted on twoplustwo, eight out of the ten accounts had been closed or had their screen name changed. Upon releasing these names in the HSNL thread, which was obvious was being closely watched by UltimateBet, the last 2 accounts were immediately closed or had their account name changed. This is known because within 24 hours they no longer appeared on ultimatebuddy.com when searched for. Just like with Absolute Poker, UltimateBet’s management was covering their tracks.
Nat Arem (N82 50 24 on twoplustwo) was able to give trambopoline some further damning information. From the contacts he had from the AP scandal, he was able to confirm 3 things;
* The NioNio account was changed to nymobser.
* The Nopaddles account was changed to sleeplesss.
* The changes were made on the same day.
The post also notes that UltimateBet issued a press release on the subject in March, but has yet to further address the issue or attempt to make reparations.
