HAHAHAHA!

Oh, wait, you weren't joking?

Okay, then please answer me this:

1) Given that pretty much everyone, including those who believe the accused are innocent, agrees that this whole thing looks seriously suspicious why were these accounts not flagged and investigated earlier by FTP? Why did it take a complaint? Why do your users have to do your job for you?

2) Why did the investigation (as with all FTP investigations) take so long?

3) Why was there such a lack of communication? Both between FTP and the complainant and between FTP and the accused?

4) Given that FTP failed to completely exonerate the accused, did FTP consider allowing them to withdraw their funds and then banning them? While I absolutely agree that funds should be seized only when there is overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing (not that this has been the case in the past with FTP since FTP has a history of seizing funds with little or no justification) this would seem to be a viable alternative. Much like how B&M casinos handle suspected cheats and card counters. Is this an option FTP has ever considered? Or is that guaranteed income from generated rake the over-riding concern and not the integrity of the game? (Even if it is merely the perceived integrity of the game).
