It also reported that “POTRIPPER” is estimated to have fraudulently won anywhere between $400-700,000.

“This is literally a geek trying to prove to senior management that they were wrong and he took it too far,” an anonymous source told MSNBC.

According to Gambling911, the culprit’s actual name is Alan John Grimard, aka A.J. Green who formerly worked at Nine.com and among the other former Nine.com employees Gambling911 queried, none had shining endorsements for their ex-co-worker.

And when trouble comes, it comes in droves and adding to the cheating scandal, is an unpaid bill to a marketing firm, Publicity Guaranteed.

The NY Times reports that Publicity Guaranteed was owed $43,000 by AbsolutePoker and that it went public with the payment owing to “shame its client”.

“We’re just saying we’re someone else that got shortchanged by Absolute Poker, and this should be public knowledge,” Publicity Guaranteed’s senior VP, Nat Kurok told the NY Times.

Reports indicate that AbsolutePoker is in the process of reimbursing players who were ripped off by "POTRIPPER" but there will probably be more fallout when all is said and done.
