I'd be disappointed by Stars if they didn't allow you to keep the money. You received it in good faith, just as if you won it at the tables.

Agreed. What exactly is the difference between a transfer and him sitting at a table and losing all his fraudulent money in a legitimate game. Are Stars going to withdraw the funds from all the people who won from him?

The sites need to take some responsibility here. Otherwise, following logically, why can't the OP inform FTP that this is a fraudulent line and claim the money back from them in the same way has Stars has done to him?

The fraud was perpetrated by a player that Stars let sign up. That player then fraudulently deposited and the transaction was with Stars. If Stars then let him transfer to another player then Stars should suffer any loss IMHO. The fact all sites do it does not make it morally correct.

If however Stars can prove or suspect collusion in these payments then by all means they should suspend the OP's account pending an investigation.
