You make a good point about refunding only "net losses" by players due to GRAYCAT and the others, and I actually thought about that. However, the reverse argument can be made here -- that GRAYCAT was actually freerolling us because there was some chance he either wouldn't get caught or it wouldn't be proven. (The latter was more likely, and probably would be the case were it not for the smoking gun EXCEL file.)

I assume that some players actually won against the cheaters and that they will be allowed to keep that money (or already cashed it out), which means that the refunds paid to everyone else will exceed the total profits from the cheating.

True, but that's AP's problem. The number of people who won overall versus the cheaters has to be very low (and probably not very much money). It's just hard to lose much when you can see the other guy's cards. The only exception might be the DOUBLEDRAG intentional losing session on September 16th.

In any case, these dudes were basically in a "cheating freeroll" if they come out near-even at worst and make well over a million at best. Any U.S. judge would award punitive damages in such a case.
