How does blowing this story up help online poker in anyway?
The fallout from this is way bigger than any upside I can think of.

regulate
The cat is out of the bag. We are not risking the health of online poker by getting the word out, those who abused their positions in the industry for a quick and amoral profit did so already.
What matters most is the long term health of online poker. I think and most in here agree that getting the information out there with a rational interpretation of the facts will provide short term pain but in the long run is the most +EV (or perhaps least -EV) play. It might end up causing the US to regulate the industry and thus making it more mainstream.

IMHO.

Sorry if I don't trust the US govt to regulate anything the right way. I understand why everyone thinks this can help online gambling but knee jerk reactions from the US govt seem to last a lot longer than expected.

Point taken. But at this point, trying to hide this under the rug and then having it exposed by 'fear mongers' is the only other alternative.

I just hope the US doesn't ban online gaming outright b/c of this
