Default Am I an angle-shooting douchebag?

I just got wiped out at a $5/$10 PLO table. The player who took most of my money would win a huge pot, get up to a couple of thousand, then immediately leave and sit back down again with just $200. Unlike on Party, this is NOT allowed on iPoker. In fact when you try to do it, it's not possible - you have to sit with the same you left with. It was infuriating to see him take money off the table like that. I talked with CDPoker online support who told me he had found a software bug which he was exploiting, and they would suspend his account (and, possibly, give me my money back since he was in breach of the site's terms and conditions). They then discovered he was playing through the Titan skin and told me to report him to them. So I have just had the same conversation with Titan. She said "Our Poker Team is checking on it. We're forwarding this matter. I am talking to our Poker Team as well." Who knows what will happen.

So 1) Should he have his account suspended?
2) Should all the money he won be returned to other players?

I hope so...

Had you won and not lost, would you have reported him?
If yes then the answer is no.
If no then the answer is yes.

If I'd won from him, the situation couldn't have occurred.

If I'd not been involved with him, but seen it going on, I doubt I could have cared less. That's self interest, not hypocrisy.

Fair enough.

But I don't think you will see any money coming back. It is a fault of the site not the player.

It is clearly the fault of the player. He is knowingly giving himself an unfair advantage.

I don't see anything in Titan's T&C's about taking chips off the table, so unless I missed it, I don't see how Titan could suspend the guy.

luckyjimm can do whatever he wants with his money.
His question here is wether we think he is a scumbug or not for reporting this guy.
