Hmmm. They were using "bots" and admitted to having used multiple accounts at FT.

players using bots to cheat thats sick, only these two were caught that too maybe due to multiple accounts they created. So this means their might be other players using bots, might create a bit insecurity in other players.

80k wow. I really want they lose all their money. I think they deserve that. Neither FullTilt nor other pokersite must permit these kind of dishonest players.

Online poker will always have problems like this. The more people want to believe at the honesty of the poker site side, when they loose they will always say the fault was from the "machine". When we win, we tend to accept the site is fair, but when we loose real money, we blaim the computer because it wasnt fair, it was computer generated, like if "the PC already new who was going to win that game".
