this is a perfect example of taking something that would normally be legit and because it is outlawed rules and regulations are flouted at best, a massive fraud and corruption at worse. When I see cases like this, I was wonder how people involved but they would be able to get away with this if you look at the amount they supposedly had on deposit versus what they actually had it doesn't take an accounting major to know there is a huge discrepancy that you will unlikely be able to pay back. It's clear the poker sites make some money through ads and transactional commission but since people play against each other they don't benefit from the advantages a normal casino would have. Although people lose their money they lose it to the person across the table not to the "house". With this high-profile company now under a dark cloud of suspicion, they are definitely putting a big if not final nail in their coffin. With player bots, player collusion and security vulnerability in their systems people start to think long and hard before they wager money online.
