On January 13th, a group of eight high-stakes poker pros filed a complaint with the Regulated Industries Complaints Office in the U.S. Central District Court of California against 6356095 Canada, Inc, formerly known as Excapsa Software, the Canadian parent company of UB.
The eight pros, who include lead plaintiff Daniel Ashman, Brad Booth, Dustin Woolf, Tom Koral and Dan Smith, are claiming that UB owners stole a reported $20 million from the poker community, including $2 million from the plaintiffs alone.
According to the complaint, “Excapsa/UltimateBet did conspire to and did direct, effect, and permit the theft of over $2 million held in plaintiffs’ online poker accounts at UltimateBet.com.” They went on to say that, “by creating and making use of an intentional security flaw in the UltimateBet.com software” UB “allowed others to or did directly view plaintiffs hole cards during high-stakes poker matches run at UltimateBet.com.”
The eight pros seek damages and injunctive relief, citing interference with prospective economic advantage, emotional distress, fraud and unfair business practices.
