**Miles_FTA** · 24 July 2015, 2:42 am

Hi All,

Yes all True ..and not gaming related all related to the JP Morgan Hack. I believe.

From an affiliate programs perspective I am sorry that this has put a grey cloud over all our heads again but please just know that the actions of sum dont represent the actions of us all.. some of us still decent ,honoust and aboveboard.

I hope that all the hard working affiliates effected by these closures recover quickly as you dont deserve to suffer.

And for the players too Hard to swallow

While I can't confirm that this is the people, piecing together several stories I've heard over the years from inside the industry (specifically the aliases 'Gabi' and 'Aviv' I believe there's a very good chance that the below pdf gives a good idea of the reasons for the arrests in this instance;

The negative thing (for us) is that we have to clean up all their craps around the web pointing to our site...

I know mate, been there, done that. Still doing it in fact. I've learned code words and terms for vile stuff that I should never have had to know thanks to these scumbags.

I actually read about them getting arrested a few days ago in connection with the JP Morgan hack and a dodgy bitcoin exchange. They apparently took over a tiny US-based credit union to process their dirty money which ultimately lead to their downfall. The penny has only just dropped today that they are the same Affactive guys.

I'm just thankful to see them getting what they deserve.

Someone received a message of affiliation RevenueJet?
I have not received message for RevenueJet

Thank You

**edgarf76** · 24 July 2015, 11:50 am

I spent all morning removing links/ banners. I received an email from Playboy Poker that said they are closing.

Some people should I guess... f.e. top10casinosites dot net changed all his RevJet links even before the rumour was here on the board..

Affactive was always posting calvinayre articles on their facebook page. Since yesterday calvinayre as well as bodog are also down. Just a mere coincidence?

Both sites are up for me and I received this email from Betting Partners on the 23rd;

Yes, I noticed that both sites are up for me again too. But I can still visit calvinayre only via proxy. However, glad that they are still available

**dfiocch** · 25 July 2015, 7:30 am

Same here. Calvin Ayre's website is up. Bodog too.
Received also the same mail ThePogg received.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articl...pmorgan-attack

especially read this part :

Where are the hackers?The complaints filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court against the men are unrelated to hacking and are narrowly tailored to claims of securities fraud and a bitcoin scam in Florida. But they are a key step in an elaborate investigative gamble to crack the hacking case, according to three people familiar with the investigators’ strategy who provided details of events leading up to the arrests.

The investigators’ immediate goal is to unearth new evidence from those arrested. They could then fortify their existing case by adding charges that link one or more of thosearrested with the Wall Street hacking spree, now known to have affected Fidelity Investments Ltd., E*Trade Financial Corp. and other financial institutions as well as JPMorgan.
There is an even more elusive quarry. Investigators suspect the actual keyboard work was done by an elite group of Russian cyber criminals who may have partnered with the alleged stock fraudsters and who may have had additional criminal motives. The men charged simply don’t have the kind of computer skills needed for the JPMorgan attack, the investigators have concluded.

I wonder if the verifiedcasino hackers has anything to do with that or made a contact to the right people

**dfiocch** · 25 July 2015, 2:36 pm

@COPCapo

Verifiedcasinos went down exactly at the same time AA/RJ brands went down...
Coincidence? Mmmm...

**Triple7** · 25 July 2015, 3:43 pm

And not just Ver. Casinos. More went down exactly on that moment. And it's logical that the keyboard work was not done by this three.... I'm sure nobody was thinking this is a 3 men only operation...

**allfreechips** · 25 July 2015, 4:09 pm

Appears they were behind the mass email on stock are moving deals.. buy, then get thousands of others to buy, raise value and dump..

**Jokerman99** · 25 July 2015, 5:15 pm

Does AffPower have any ties to them?

**universal4** · 25 July 2015, 7:28 pm

I would like to see them uncover some PROOF that their is a connection, but sadly they may not be looking for that connection and not sure if they know about the other hacking.

Unless the hacking of some of the government/utility company websites helped lead them down the path, but I have seen no indication so far that they have made that connection.

It is pretty interesting that a number of the sites that contained pages that the hacked sites were pointing at seemed to disappear or at least have issues immediately upon this case being exposed and the arrests took place.
