Ethics of Releasing Sensitive Information - ZJ related.

[Karakaz]

What I am asking is; Should *any* information that could be contrued as sensitive or link an identifiable person to an incident of cheating, including but not limited to sn?

We still have no OFFICIAL word from Party regarding this matter - if ZJ did not post and confess towards his actions, we would not have any proof on the validity of these claims.

What when I post a fake e-mail from party accusing YOU of being a cheater? Is the punishment in any way comparable to the crime? Is this a case where the cure is worse than the disease?

The main reason I post this is due to the extremely negative impact this will have on two individuals who commit relatively minor offences, who have been branded as cheaters and is/will be universially hated within the poker community for the foreseeable future (probably will have issues in any casino/other public places the next few years).

Additionally, and perhaps the crux of this: Could Party not have handled this in a more considerate manner? Surely an official post on their official webpage explaining actions taken against 2 big time winners would be just as effective.

To me, this smells like corporations (and the mob) taking the law in their own hands. I could be wrong, and there could be issues I have overlooked - this is why I would like to see some discussion on the matter.
