If you're pulled over for a speeding violation and refuse a "request" to search your vehicle (or body), that alone is probable cause in most jurisdictions and no good will come of it.

I'm pretty sure this is wrong. However you do not have the right to refuse a DUI test. Perhaps that is what you are thinking of.

As to the other issue, ZJ cheated and the poker sites have a responsibility to maintain a fair game, it is what the rake pays for, and every player implicitedly agrees to this by paying rake. Part of preventing cheating is publication/exposing of players who cheat, because this creates a deterrent to stop other players from cheating.

However, I would think it a problem if PP published ZJ's home address, SSN, Credit card/Neteller #, Medical info, etc. Disclosing all Personal information is different than just disclosing enough information to identify the cheater.

Which is just enough to ruin the reputation of ZJ. But if your reputation is ruined by the TRUTH of something you chose to do, then that is your problem.

Precisely. He withheld information from all of those who played in MTTs with him. I'm sure that all of those who lost money due to his actions couldn't care less about his pride.

The first Paragraph is a quote from another poster and the second is my response. This is from another thread "the current state of online cheating" I think this point is one to consider greatly when pondering the "ethics and responsibilties" of online gaming sites.


this is a serious problem and the timing of this scandal couldn't have been better/worse with regards to the upcoming debate/legislation in the U.S. It will ultimately come down to the online poker companies to police themselves or face the possibility of losing the 12 billion dollar a year industry.


DDc67 This in my opinion is the most relevant of all issues. Many questions and thoughts have been expressed talking about "our poker community" and how "we" should deal with the disclosure of information punishment of and protection from offenders. None of these questions can be answered correctly without factoring this in.

If there has been any thread where this has been discussed more in depth please inform me.
