Wait until your good friend comes to you with something unethical, but less than murder. See if you immediately race off to the nearest authority to turn him in.

I fully admit it would be very difficult to do that.

And I admit that I didn't suspect this was very widespread (and perhaps it's not). Even if people who are friendly with ZJ didn't want to turn him into Party (for reasons I understand), I (and probably others) would have appreciated it if the respected posters who DID know this is going on posted in the MTT forum something like "FYI, multi-accounting is real and some of the best players are utilizing it", or something similar to that. Maybe they did that and I missed it.

Perhaps I'm naive for not knowing. But it's:

1) disconcerting I didn't realize this was widespread among players I very much respected (like ZJ)
2) disconcerting that some people seemed to know cheating was occuring at the highest level but were hesistant to admit it

Again, I concede my ethical compass may be way off here. But I'd have like to have known cheating was occuring with some level of high frequency (apparently), and feel it's unethical for those who were aware it was going on not to alert others because they wanted to protect their (cheating) friends. I'm sure it's infinitely more complicated then how I've laid it out here, too. Like I said, perhaps I'm crazy.
