Mostly fluff IMO:

In an ongoing AMA on Reddit, Hellmuth opened up about the cheating scandal, which took place from 2005 to 2007. Prompted by PocketFives Community Manager Kevin Kevmath Mathers, Hellmuth said of the incident, "I was proud to have had a big role in forcing an investigation at UB, which led to $25 million being returned to the players. People said I should have left the site, and that would have been easy to do as I was wanted by Full Tilt. But I saw another pro get haunted for years because the site he repped did not pay the players back. Staying was the right move, and I was happy when the players were paid back."

:LOL

“I’m really proud I stayed on with UB, helped promote a site that ended up going bankrupt and stiffing all it's players”-Phil Hellmuth Jr.

I was proud to have had a big role in forcing an investigation at UB, which led to $25 million being returned to the players. People said I should have left the site, and that would have been easy to do as I was wanted by Full Tilt. But I saw another pro get haunted for years because the site he repped DID NOT pay the players back. Staying was the right move, and I was happy when the players were paid back. I was also happy when evidence emerged a few years later that made it clear that I wasn't aware of what was happening. The poker world stuck by, but the evidence was nice and completely shut up the haters.

Not all players were made whole and Phil Hellmuth is still friends with the UB scammers.

Phil Hellmuth just likes to make up his own "facts".

He's so lucky he didn't go to prison.
