how embarrassing for FT

FT has probably just lost all credibility, I just hope the business they lose is substantial enough for them to revisit their policies, but probalby not... it never is

They must be doing something right, the amount of players was above normal tonight and the 1/2NL fishier than ever. Probably all the 2+2 wannabees that are looking for an edge while both the bots and the 2+2 sharks are away.

FT's way of handling this situation is no different to any other site.
The main problem with these sites is that employees are at the best mediocre poker players and the financial aspect of the situation weights much more in their eyes than the integrity of the site as seen by a small group of pros.
We are talking 80/100K a month in rake generated by 4 accounts and while they are obviously forced to say that they take the matter very seriously, they most certainly don't want to lose the accounts bussiness.

It is very likely that those accounts will be offered a name change, thus creating the illusion that they willingly stopped playing.

If we, at 2+2, can't find them at the tables, it will be difficult to keep bitching about them.
Even if we are now looking for them under the new names, it will take months of datamining before we can come up with some stats and we'll never be able to prove that we are dealing with the same bots/accounts/or whatever we want to call them.

Whatever we like it or not, FT is a bussiness and it's first priority is profit.
