Obviouly there is a overwhelming chance that whatever was confiscated won't cover all the players who lost money to the bot. In this more-than-likely scenario FTP can not give everyone a full refund. But isn't the solution obvious? Prorated disbursement of the confiscated monies based on how much each person lost.

So if ALLEN lost $5k, and there are 200 players who lost a total of $150k to this bot (life-time winners need not apply), then ALLEN should get 5/150 or 3.3% of the confiscated funds.

I don't see how the manpower involved to do this is over FTP's head. They conduct multi-month investigations all the time, and given the HHs this would take me about 20 minutes in excel.

I am fine of being reimbursed a portion of the forfeited funds. I just DO NOT BELIEVE it will happen period.

And I am still laughing at the fact that most of you are trying to turn it on me, like I am at fault another player was violating the rules of the game.

How would you feel if you were cheated at the live game and when the culprit was caught, you would not get a dime of confiscated money.

If we were at the casino, when the cheat is discovered, who is to say that he isn't a net loser to that current table of players? It would be all of the players who are gone and did not leave a trail who were cheated. How would those people get their money back? Aren't they entitled to get their money back? Do the people at the table currently get the money even though some of them just sat and haven't lost money to him yet?

In this scenario do you know which player you are?

(answer: you are not currently at the table)

That said, if you did play a bot, I hope you get something back. But to liken this situation to that of a real casino is a bad analogy (hurts your argument more), especially considering online they have better resources to figure out where the money came from than they would in a B&M.
