Poker Blogger -Natarem- Threatened Over UB Scandal.

Nat Arem Physically Threatened During UB Controversy.
Famed poker blogger and poker consultant Nat Arem, who was the main figure who brought the Ultimate Bet superuser scandal to light over a year ago, has officially been threatened with physical violence in the latest controversy to come to light regarding the online poker giant.
In a HUGE thread that has been developing nicely over the past week or so over at 2+2, it looks as if MORE dirt has been brought up that indicates UB not only knew about the cheating, but also blatantly tried to cover it up, and then tried to cover up the fact that there were in upwards of a dozen or more ADDITIONAL superuser account names that have been uncovered in the scandal.
Their official statement, which was made public on PO a few weeks ago, named and indicted all those involved. However, it now looks as if there are even more names to be added to the list, and there’s a VERY strong indication that 1994 WSOP Main Event winner Russ Hamilton may be more directly involved in the Ultimate Bet cheating than originally thought. Hamilton was a former shareholder/purported owner of UB in the 90’s, and has now been laying very low in the poker world despite his name frequently being used in regards to UB’s troubles.
Nat Arem brought all this up and more in the aforementioned 2+2 thread, and he recently stated in a post on the same site that he was threatened with physical violence if he didn’t stop digging up more dirt on the story! He has mentioned that being the recipient of physical force wasn’t worth it, and bowed out of the whole thing by forwarding his information to trusted sources on Two Plus Two - and letting the other detectives on the powerhouse poker forum do the rest in his absence.
More to come on this ever-developing story….
