Looks like Nat Arem and the 2+2 guys are rabidly following up leads which seem to indicate that Russ Hamilton was associated with several of the superuser accounts involved in the recent Ultimate Bet cheating scandal. There’s also some evidence that the cheating goes back earlier than what UB has admitted to so far.

Hi, my name is Bill Rini and this is my poker blog. I've been blogging about poker and the poker industry since around 2003-ish. Like most people I started out playing poker as entertainment in home games whenever we wanted to sit around and smoke cigars, drink beer, and eat pizza, and needed a good excuse. I started playing online shortly after the first online card rooms opened and it wasn't long before I was playing 20, 30, or even 40 hours a week or more. One day I received a phone call about a program manager position at Tiltware which was the company that consulted to Full Tilt Poker on software development and marketing. After Tiltware I spent about 2.5 years working at Party Poker where I was the poker room manager.
