I can't see how the withholding of money which belongs to someone else is not illegal. It is theft. I take the point about battening down the hatches and hoping it all goes away - I'm currently involved in a similar situation myself on a non gambling-related matter - but it remains theft, and subject to civil, if not criminal, prosecution. Theft is illegal. If a paper trail can show that the $5,500,000 player balances are held by Microgaming, then Microgaming must be guilty of the crime of withholding money from the rightful owners.
You mentioned bank records earlier -

Well, if these demonstrate a pool of 5.5 million originating as the balances of the Tusk skin players, you surely have a case of theft by Microgaming.

I'm sure nobody would suggest he's lying, he's clearly the last person to be accused of being one of the handful of trolls who have contributed bogus information with malicious intent. People are trying to make sense of it, that's all.
