This sucks, it's horrible, but if it is true the worst thing that could happen to those robbed is for the story to take the other sites down with them (or to further support the anti on-line poker movement in the US).

There are a lot of ifs still, but this could really put the whole industry at risk.

My thoughts exactly, yea I'd be super heated if I was robbed too, and would want to make a noise loud enough for this to stop and not happen again, but thinking unemotionally the bigger issue would be not to make so much noise that it potentially cripples the entire industry.

For the record, I am not in the least saying it should be swept under the carpet (if anyone is reading my post that way). I think it needs to be resolved quickly, though, and I think sites like party and stars should be apprised and developing (or more likely executing) plans to reduce the negative impact to the industry regardless of what is eventually born out.

I have a theory, too, but I will put that in a separate post.
