Druff,

Did you consider that this might have been an automated response from the pokerstars software?

[Seether]

You are unbelievable.

[URMeowed]

So you can steal as much as you want multi-tabling MTTs and they'll only seize what they can prove and return the rest of your funds. You receive an unauthorized transfer for one cent and you have to explain yourself well enough to not get your account frozen.

NH Stars.

No, they need to take all factors into account before suspending people.

Among them:

1) How much was the transfer?

2) Who received it? Is it a long-time, known player, or is it a new player or one with virtually no previous activity?

3) What would be the worst consequence that could occur from leaving the receiving account open?

Let's look at this case:

The transfer was for a penny. A more trivial amount of money does not exist.

I am a long-time player, have always played the highest games available, and have never once been accused of any cheating, chip-dumping, or wrongdoing.

By leaving my account open, the worst I could do is blow the penny to another player! That's hardly reason for concern. What if this is just a "test transfer"? Simple solution. Disallow all transfers between our two accounts until it is solved. In fact, they could hold the penny in escrow until this is solved.

As people here have demonstrated ("Time to deposit $1 and wreak havoc"), there is a huge flaw in their logic to automatically suspend high-limit players for RECEIVING pennies from unknown people who claim they didn't send it. Theoretically, anyone with a penny to their name can shut a high limit player off the site for 24 hours or more. That's a big problem right there.

Why did I mention the bracelet? No, not because I feel it entitles me to be above the rules. It was to establish that I'm a known player with a healthy bankroll, and that the last thing I'd be wasting my time (and reputation) with would be stealing pennies out of accounts.

It's called common sense, folks.

Suspending my account for "stealing" a penny is equivalent to arresting Bill Gates if I were to accuse him of pickpocketing me for $100.

Pokerstars needs to learn to reserve their suspensions for cases where real danger of loss exists, not when innocent people are the victim of childish penny-pranks.

Your above statement is all anyone needs to read to understand why Pokerstars is right in their actions, and why you are dellusional (and wrong).

That was me... I've seen you taking some beats lately and thought you could use the help.
