Default Re: Recipient of a chip dump – what now?

First off, I don't think the sites really "know" when chip dumping occurs. The standard for knowing would be so high as to seriously undermine any serious attempt at policing the games. I think an inductively strong argument or just a reasonable belief would be more realistic (and the way most sites enforce the rules).

To get to the heart of your question, I think a site should never penalize an honest player who inadvertantly stumbles upon corrupt players and benefits as a result. Part of the rake should insulate honest players from the actions of cheats, grifters, criminals and other bad dudes. The general assumption should be legitimate game play (win or lose) and the honest player should not have funds confiscated or awarded that result from 'chip dumping.'
