The "Poker Cheater" that The 60 Minutes Report didn't mention, he was an employee at Absolute Poker (Picture) by reddit
“There is a younger individual, not Russ Hamilton that hasn't been named yet, or at least not named in the mainstream media . The 60 minutes report said that there were 5 accomplices. Russ Hamilton himself couldn't have gotten access to see the hands of the players. Russ most likely bankrolled the operation, paying this one individual and maybe some others to give him the hand outcomes. This was probably done via instant messenger like MSN or AIM. Since Russ Hamilton's IP Address would be located within the United States, most likely Las Vegas; then it wasn't picked up (by Absolute Poker personnel) that he was cheating. If the IP Address came from Costa Rica, then it would be obvious to Absolute Poker collusion detection employees to catch the perpetrators who had the access to view the hands of each player in a particular game. Also, it is important to know that the "inside" individual who is in the picture above, was fairly familiar with company operations and how to avoid getting caught. So, their are a few more people the authorities need to go after besides Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton is more or less, "The Brains" of the operation for lack of better words.” source...
