Who is Potripper? The 7-Million Dollar Super-User
It appears that the identity of the Absolute Poker super-user, POTRIPPER, has been identified. According to several sources (Gambling911 and Point-Spreads.com), POTRIPPER’s real name is Alan “AJ” Green (not his REAL name), formerly of Nine.com and the now former Operations Director for Absolute Poker.
According to Point-Spreads.com, “Point-Spreads.com sources in Costa Rica are claiming the Absolute Poker Super-User account scam has been going on for three years and the actual amount that was skimmed from online poker players is estimated at close to $7 million, not the 700k amount that was previously reported. The actual amount is still unknown as an internal audit is underway.
[Point-spreads.com] have confirmed that Scott Tom was using the Super-User to sit at tables as an “observer” as online poker player PotRipper would join the tournaments and Scott would tell him what cards people have so they can win the tourney and split the money. PotRipper is Alan “AJ” Green, formerly of Nine.com and the now former Operations Director for Absolute Poker. Point-Spreads.com has learned AJ’s real name but has chosen to withhold it at this time.
Where did the $7 million go? On September 3rd, 2007 a small jet plane caught on fire before taking off on the runway at San Jose Juan Santamaria International Airport in Costa Rica. The two passengers on the private jet were Scott Tom and his pregnant wife. His wife was rushed to the hospital to make sure everything was alright with the baby. The plane’s destination was Colombia and the rumored cargo on the plane was $2-3M in cash. Officials at Absolute Poker confirmed to Point-Spreads.com that Tomm was on the jet, however, deny any money was onboard.”
