I got this link from pokerjokerz forum, and how they were cutting affiliations from the site due to serious heat about super user accounts, and their response to requests for Hand Histories. I clicked the link: http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/28/internet-poker/i-suspect-pitbull-poker-has-superusers-540094/ and this is from the same forum that brought up the Ultimate Bet & Absolute Poker scandal (even has one of the same guys that was on 60 minutes doing some detective work).
The thread is really long (69 pages, I only got to 27 pages before posting the link here). Basically in a nutshell, a guy was mad about being donked on plenty of questionable hands, and wanted some Hand Histories to compile some play by plays, and see if the other guy was making those moves based on being able to see his hole cards. 'Dave' the PBP network manager (and the rep speaking for PBP in the thread) is quoted in several e-mails as he'll get them to him right away, then several months pass with just lame excuses after another, before finally ignoring all subsequent e-mails after that. In turn, the player turned to the twoplustwo forum for some answers / resolve.
Plenty of twists and turns in the story, deleted hand histories, lack of gaming licenses, shady owner who's run several shams in the past with no current contact information, and a PokerRoom that has been running under a company name that was dissolved in March of this year, supposedly based in the UK, but it's now being run in Costa Rica? My advice would be to stay away from Pitbull Poker. Expect to see some more articles and interviews in the future about this. This is pretty ongoing and after google searching the room I'm finding plenty of topics about other people being scammed or jerked around.
