well sometimes this kind of thing usually happens, and as we can see here they only put him in jail without much delay ... I would like to know if at least he made a more or less acceptable trial because from what I see he did not get many chances to the poor

I do not understand why the name of this player is not specified here. It is strange that the Danish police did not specify more details about this mysterious gambler or his victims. I hope it's not Gus Hansen. Lol. I'm joking here with the last part.

Unfortunately, these problems are everywhere and because of this, the customers of these poker rooms, lose their confidence. It's not normal what happens. This Danish player could very well to stop playing a period, if he was smart. He could withdraw $ 3 million and the amount confiscated by the authorities, would have been much smaller.

The ways to cheat and fraud in poker have evolved in great strides, this is an interesting case that should make us reflect on all the time it took to discover the culprit, the actions of this man negatively affected other poker players during Six years, and no one suspected anything, it is a difficult job for poker rooms to maintain security and it is also the responsibility of governments to enforce laws that protect poker players.

What is this bullsheet story? he admited to someone he cheated em out of that much money, that he could see their cards?? Why would he do that, also arent those programs easily trackable to his computer. Or did he actually get sentenced based on them saying he did it...

There are many bots in the poker rooms and it is not easy to catch them, if someone is not looking for them. When a cheater is found it, they will check much easier certain things, that incriminate him. That's fine, but it's a shame that there is no police to investigate and observe for bots.
