The Absolute Poker headquarters shot was not their headquarters. Its in a 6 story building that actually looks formidable in Costa Rico. The building they showed was about 5 minutes from the actual building, and in my opinion is a blatant lie that casts doubt upon the whole story.

I always thought that Kahnawake gaming commision was just sugar coating

Seemed to me that they were more focused on telling everyone "online gambling is illegal in the US".

But imo, it seemed like a bunch of bull. The cheating part was legit, but half the other crap burned my ears.
