This EH issue has certainly polarised opinions and given rise to some emotional reactions here, but to my mind there have been many accusations and not a little negative speculation - mostly without the production of supporting evidence with which Spear or the Meister could work.

If you think the issue is whether EH did it on purpose or not, there's really ery little in the way of evidence anybody here could possibly produce. Absent subpoena powers, the only people who will ever know - for sure - what happened over at EH are the people at EH themselves.

I have to say, one of the most impressive summaries of the situation is imo TheBloke's recent post, which dealt with the facts that are known and/or admitted.

Having known Spear for some time, I personally respect his expertise and integrity and have no reason to doubt that his assessment of the incident is correct, but I think we are all agreed that EH management could have handled this in a more professional manner.

I have to say, too that I am personally disappointed in The Wizard's apparent withdrawal from the issue - I would really like to see his assessment recorded in this thread, too.

A couple of years ago, when I first came across the Wizard's site, I was astonished by the ast amount of useful information he'd collected there. I was even more impressed reading about the cheating casinos he'd busted, and how he'd stood up to them - and even their "lawyers."

His response to this situation, in contrast, has been less than overwhelming.

As TheBloke points out, there should be a price to pay by EH for at the ery least it's ineptitude in making flawed software available. Unfortunately, the nature of the industry precludes any effective authority imposing some sort of penitence and much will hang on how EH is perceived by the playing and possibly affiliate communities after this debacle.

What many players would like to see, in my iew, and in the absence of any regulatory authority, is a kind of "referee," who can tell them which casinos are trustworthy, and which are not, and whose word carries weight.

Many players, fairly or unfairly, look to CM to fulfill that role.

I have a feeling that the reaction of those audiences may, as Suzecat suggests, be the real and practical price EH pays.
