Wow Ikestoys. Your post is rather telling. For an increase in monetary gain of a mere 5k, you are willing to overlook a cheater/lier/fraudster gaining 40 times that amount - 200k. This sounds likes a radically capitalistic view, in which the only motivation is monetary gain. How is this morally different than accepting 5k from AP to cover up, or look the other way? It is no wonder that corporations in our soceity are allowed to get away with whatever they wish for profit. Because so many live only for monetary profit, and not for enrichment of life as a whole. "As long as I get mine, why should I care how they got theirs". Just a sad way to view the world.

One has to wonder if he really believes that, or if he is just saying it because it sounds clever to give the "+EV" answer. Ironically, in the long run, it may not even be the +EV answer to allow cheaters to go unobstructed, since this type of tolerance can ruin online poker and hurt the future bottom line of folks who did nothing to prevent repeats of this situation.

Yes. Using the prohibition analogy, i think the alcohol industry is making more profit now that it is a legal venture, and the criminal element has been cleaned-up.
