The first step is given, now I think Todd "Dan Druff" Witteles should gain the confidence of some of the biggest online poker rooms - if not all - to be on his side, so we could all know no one likes criminals and that everyone is fighting against illegality on poker, especially on online poker.

ok so tell me what can one guy do to stop these big time criminals/scumbags etc. even if he gets support from some of his friends or a small group of poker players- what will they do? how are they gonna be spotting those fraudsters? and even if they catch one- so what the same dude will continue doing his work under other alias/business name etc.

Well @pochui, I am not a geek in what concerns to computers, but if someone creates an international data base with all the information about all online players on all rooms and cross all of it, to gather the most info about each one, and start seeking for troublemakers out there on the sites, with the help of the sites, then this guys would have more difficulties to act. Of course they would also improve their way to be pirates, but it would be a start. Let’s wait and see what will be the news about the Todd "Dan Druff" Witteles project!

It's not the players that are the cheats / scumbags in which we know to whom and what he's refering. As long as you have management personnel that you can't monitor 100% or close friends in which you can trust, all business ventures seems to be a challenge. Hope the man opens a great site with great people to support his dream.
