Full Tilt Poker site was Ponzi scheme

An Internet poker company that was blocked from operating in the U.S. in the spring as part of an online gambling crackdown was “not a legitimate poker company, but a global Ponzi scheme,” federal prosecutors said Tuesday.

The popular Full Tilt Poker website illegally raided player accounts to fund operations and make lavish payments to its owners, Justice Department lawyers said in a revised civil lawsuit filed in New York.

The poker site had promised players that their accounts were protected and wouldn’t be touched. But authorities say that, as of March, the company had only $60 million left in its bank accounts to cover the $390 million it owed to players. It routinely mingled player money with its own finances, and took cash from some customers to pay out winnings due to others, prosecutors said.

What’s a Company’s Biggest Security Risk? You Are.

Well, here’s a real shocker. It is a proven fact that the weakest link in corporate security environments is the employees themselves. A company may have the best security available on the market, but it only takes one employee to hold the door wide open for hackers.

Closing these holes is proving very difficult, security experts say. But companies keep fighting. To stop potentially dangerous employee habits, they’re testing new tools to keep track of what’s happening on their networks and rolling out employee education programs.
