Re: Fulltilt froze my account with 47 grand in it

I'm not saying she is innocent or guilty--I really don't care. But why should all of her money be confiscated if she only recently (if you believe the accusations) became a bot?

1. A strong penalty is needed to deter other players from using bots.
2. Investigating bots is expensive and the guilty should pay for the damage they do.
3. Botters destroy public trust in the game. Once again the guilty should pay for the enormous harm they cause to the sites.
4. The players who beat the bot expect to keep their winnings. The players who lost deserve to be compensated. When a good player makes $10K (made up number) in a month that usually means they won something like $40K while losing $30K. You can't compensate all the people who lost to the bot just by taking the profits.
5. Money won by cheating is money you stole. Money lost by cheating is tough luck. Every pot the bot won should be confiscated with no offset for losses.
