Cliffs (Correct me if I'm wrong):
* OP sat on tables of what he thought were weak recreational players.
* Apparently, they were actually colluders/bonus abusers.
* Someone at Stars' fraud dept initially thought (incorrectly) that OP was part of the group of cheats.
* So they closed his account and seized his money.
* OP insisted he was innocent.
* OP started this thread.
* Someone at Stars looked at the investigation again and they realized he is innocent.
* OP can play again.

Props to you, Kostas, for sticking with it.

OP I'd get my money off PS, unless I'm reading this wrong, this was some bull****. Can't believe they would initially tell you "case closed" then due to perseverance and likely public exposure, they do a 180. So if you had just given up, which they suggested you do with their initial responses, you'd be innocent but SOL. Wow.

Well said sir. And this is why one cannot have a large balance with any online site. Compliments to Stars for actually re-opening the case, and admitting a mistake was made.
