Absolute Poker Scammer Lives It Up With Superman

Allan J. Grimald, the consultant responsible for online poker website Absolute Poker having to pay a steep fine for a compromise in its software, can be seen here living it up with Dean Cain (AKA Superman). 

Just a few days ago, The Kahnawake Gaming Commission (KGC) levied a $500,000 fine against Absolute Poker. 

Poker News reported that the KGC initiated an audit of AP by an Australian firm, Gaming Associates, once it became fully aware of the scope and complexity of the accusations against AP. The Gaming Associates audit included an examination of AP's operations at several international sites and revolved around several accounts accused of having access to and knowledge of opponents' hole cards through what were at that time undisclosed means. The audit spanned roughly ten weeks and quickly confirmed what soon became public knowledge, in that a form of insider cheating had occurred at AP, and the actual 'examination' portion of the audit concluded even as the site began making restitution to all user accounts known to be negatively affected by the illicit activity.

Grimald was the alleged culprit, though he is not named specifically.  Absolute Poker management have insisted that Grimald was not an employee of the company but rather a consultant.  His drug and drinking problem has also been well illustrated these past few months.
