Duty to protect the interests of non-cheatering customers > duty to protect the privacy interests of [douche bag] cheaters.
This argument holds morally, legally, ethically, etc.

Fine, but there is no reason to expose the privacy of a cheater if there is no benefit other than gossip value for the public.

The benefit to the public is that this sort of behavior will not be tolerated. The public stockade served a similar purpose years ago.
It also benefits those who were cheated. Suppose Party came out and said they caught 3 anonymous cheaters and confiscated $400k in their accounts that will be distributed to those affected. The only way Party prevents itself from being accused of keeping the entire amount is to publicize the screen names of the cheaters so that those who were cheated can make a proper claim.
I have no desire to play with a cheater and would want to know if one ever sat at a table with me.
