The most significant in my opinion was the infamous "GM.zip" file of just a few hundred bites, which was attached to the original Travis email released in a redacted manner back in 2011.
Assuming this file is legitimate , the contents are one windows registry file, the contents of which are:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\UltimateBet\UltimateBet \Settings]
"Debugging4Dollars"=dword:00000001
"SuperAllah7462"=dword:00000001
"XR71Whitefish"=dword:00000001
For those who have been following this story over the last 2 years, I posted a detailed "theory of operation" of how I felt the UB client could be configured to "cheat" (display everyone's hole cards). I proposed that the contents of this attachment would have likely been the "SuperAllah" registry keys which I originally discovered and published shortly after the original Travis DD interview.
I have at least partially now confirmed my suspicions on how the cheating functionality in the client worked (again, assuming the zip file is legitimate, and I don't see any reason why it isn't).
The only piece yet to be confirmed by a UB programmer/insider is my theory that you did in fact need to also use the "auditmonster1" login to see hole cards, although I almost wonder now if perhaps the Debugging4Dollars key alongside one of the others was all you needed? Good grief, if that was the case, we will NEVER know how many cheaters were out there, as this was something anyone with software development / reverse engineering expertise could have figured out at the time..
