CBS is Killing Me!

Come on already, 60 Minutes! I have been waiting for over a month for this segment which is supposed to feature the cheating scandals with Ultimate Bet and Absolute Poker. But every time it is promised to come on, it never does, and I am left wondering if it’s ever going to happen.
I wonder if the segment is constantly postponed to protect the interest of the two online poker rooms. I do know that soon the two poker rooms, each owned by the same company, are due to merge into one poker network…and I imagine that this is to distance the websites from the cheating scandals that surround them.
Tokwiro management has announced that one of the persons involved in the scandal was Russ Hamilton, a former WSOP, but that he did not work for the company at the time that he cheated various users, viewing their hole cards.
The scary thing is that he was said to have used a software that allowed him to do so. I’ve heard of such a thing existing, although I thought that many online poker sites had software technologies designed to detect and eradicate such a thing. Is it possible when playing poker that someone is viewing my hole cards?
I’ve searched online for such software, and most of what I find is a scam, thankfully. There’s one guy that actually promises you the ability to change peoples’ hole cards… don’t you think they’d sort of NOTICE that kind of thing? I mean, in order to change the cards, you’d have to know what they were ahead of time, right? Why change their cards if they’ve already got something shitty? So, assuming they have a good hand, you change it and give them a crappy hand..they’re not going to think something’s up here?
I want to know what sort of tools exist out there that allow these people to cheat me out of my money! Come on, CBS, give us the show already!
