Poker Player Accused of Installing Trojan on Two Computers to See Hole Cards

A German poker player is being accused of installing a Trojan virus on at least two computers of fellow players, one Swiss and one Austrian.

From High Stakes DB:

The Swiss had lost $350,000 and the Austrian $40,000 to the German cheater who is now living in England.

All three parties have been present in the Poker EM which is currently being played in Austria, Baden, and according to German poker news site and forum Hochgepokert.com, the two victims managed to make their way into the German's hotel room, where they pressured him to confess.

The German player later recanted his confession when police arrived at the hotel room.

Readers on the TwoPlusTwo.com posting forum have been pointing the finger at Max Ashkar

Hochgpokert.com, which first broke the story, indeed identifies the perpetrator as Maximilian A.
