He wasn't talking about the rake. Live tournaments typically set aside 3% of the money from the
prize pool, in other words the non-raked portion. It goes towards paying the tournament staff (not including the dealers). On top of that, the players who win money are expected to leave a small percentage of their winnings as a tip for the dealers. Then, depending on where you live, you still have to pay taxes on your winnings....arghh!
It's a wonder anyone can profit playing live donkaments!
....wait, what were we talking about? Oh yeah, this "scandal". Sounds like anything but. Move along, nothing more to see.
