Why should the CEO poker tour be allowed to continue? They stole money from their participants, denied it, when we proved it they ran away. Now that they offered to not steal in the future we should be satisfied? no no no.

Then don't participate. But until you can go over their records or have them deny you access you can't be 100% sure that they stole anything. Just because attendance numbers are posted on internet sites doesn't mean they are accurate. That's why real organizations like the PPA don't make accusations like this on an internet forum. It seems to me that you all have done a fine job uncovering what looks very likely to be some shady business and you've reported it to the PPA. Now let them go and decide how they want to proceed.

the president of the PPA told me that this is more of a case for the WPA. he said that the PPA allowed the CEO tour to promote the PPA at events in order to get more poker players aware of the PPA and that was the extent of their relationship. when i asked if the PPA will allow the CEO tour to promote the PPA at future events he said, "I don’t know. I’m waiting to see how this gets resolved. I don’t have the resources to figure out what transpired here. We are going to wait and see."

"Wait and see" is irresponsible.

Analogy: I hold the door open for a nice group of men entering a bank with ski masks. They proceed to rob the bank. I decide to wait and see how the situation gets resolved instead of calling the police and disassociating myself from the thieves.
