Further details have surfaced in the ongoing online poker superuser scandal, with reports indicating that two poker sites were previously alerted about a suspicious account known as “Paul Gregg.” The account is at the center of allegations that an attacker used third-party software to view opponents’ hole cards, reportedly targeting around 30 high-stakes players.
According to Poker Red, one site banned the Paul Gregg account after being warned, confiscating $100,000 and refunding affected players. Spanish poker pro Ignacio Moron, one of the alleged victims, estimates he lost between $100,000 and $200,000 to the scheme, including a single stretch where he was cheated out of $60,000 in just 15 minutes.
Poker coach Patrick Howard of Mobius Poker reportedly flagged suspicious activity from the account to GGPoker in September, stopping short of directly accusing it of cheating but urging further review. Howard said this week that GGPoker has since reached out regarding the investigation.
Separately, high-stakes player and site ambassador Mario Mosbock said a different unregulated poker site identified the superuser account more than two years ago, banning it and seizing $100,000. Fellow ambassador Patrick Leonard added that the account was caught roughly a year into its activity after showing unusually accurate information during play.
Leonard claimed around 100 players had raised concerns about the account to various sites years earlier, yet it continued operating with suspicious win rates. He emphasized that future trust in online poker depends on how seriously operators investigate such threats.
Jurojin Poker, one of the software products reportedly exploited, confirmed the attack was a targeted operation rather than a mass breach, also linking the same actor to IntuitiveTables and phishing sites impersonating poker platforms and tools.
