"But it is reassuring to see you guys are taking BOT claims seriously,without overreacting to people crying wolf like OP."
Emphasis on both aspects of this. FT seems to have gone to far on the overreacting part with regard to frozen funds via "too many" transfers and other stuff they want to investigate. Not only do you guys seem to not overreact, it also appears you don't delay things and fall back on all the old excuses of "just be patient, we'll get back to you in a few days" (which seems to frequently mean "few weeks" over there).

Re: I Just Played a Bot on Stars
This thread is just one more example of why I play at Stars, spending 100K+ on rake, and no where else. Despite the comical nature of the OPs detection methods, Jeff takes the time to find the match and look into it.
Their primary competition can't even act on an email about an account being hacked in under 24 hours or keep their site up and running consistently. Keep up the good work, Stars.
