lets not rush to judge unintentionally due to wording, remember Steve oddly is one of us; his research has helped expose the scams which are much rarer today. I think what you really intended to say is "Unless he has some proof that he was going to blow the whistle on the scam, he is likely to be found as guilty as the rest.

Well, if he was willing to let people get scammed (and not blow the whistle on the crooks) just so he could write a book about cheating, in my book he is as guilty as the scammers.
The justice system may come up with a different verdict, but how can you justify such actions? What would you say if you were one of the players to fall victim to the scam? Would you say he had no responsibility to notify the authorities?
Not saying he is guilty or innocent. Just saying that "I was just there to do research" is not an excuse.
