I wasn’t sure about posting it here because I doubt the affiliate program is really going to have anything to do with this solution. This situation has a great chance of ruining Absolute Poker forever though, especially if they don’t respond to this immediately.
So many people (including myself) feel AP was in on this and many feel (not me) that Mark Seif is the cheat. Even if they were not in on it the fact their software is so insecure and the cheaters got away with it for this long shows how poor security is over at AP. The longer AP takes to answer to this the more speculation there will be and if any funds are returned. I seriously doubt players will get their money back though, especially if AP is in on it.
Edit: Here is the part 2 thread. The OP is a great cliff note:
