It's bad publicity in the short term, but in the long run it's a very good thing that these cheaters were discovered and outed. Multi-accounting has almost certainly been significantly reduced in the last couple of weeks because people now have a real fear of getting caught. The sites have received a serious wake-up call, which will probably lead to implementation of better anti-cheating measures. It sucks that there was cheating going on, and I'm sure there will be people who overreact to the news ("OMG online poker is all cheaters!!1!"), but there's no question that online poker is better off today than it would be if we had all just remained blissfully ignorant of it.
