WTF are you talking about?
First of all, Jose wasn't giving people advice while he was sweating them. He asked to watch them play for absolutely no apparent reason. That's part of the incredible stupidity of this situation.
Second, I never said that if you cheated yourself you don't deserve to be repaid for cheating that happened to you. You just totally made them up.

When Charlie Sheen is the murderer, they don't all of a sudden let Sarah Palin hand down a 20 year sentence. They go through the system that is in place (the courts).
On a side note, I agree the current system sucks. I agree we should work together to change it. But there is simply nothing we can do about it. The only way it will be fixed is when online poker is regulated heavily and cheating in any way will actually be a federal crime. However you can't just decide to change it arbitrarily while dealing with a specific issue.
What do you think I'm saying?
Your argument seems to be that even though Jungleman should be morally obligated to pay back, he isn't because the sites haven't made people pay back in the past. Your argument sucks. In fact, it sucks for two totally different reasons:
1) I'm saying that Jungleman is morally obligated to pay back. That has absolutely nothing to do with whether the sites will make him pay back (incidentally, Stars recently confiscated funds from newhizzle for multiaccounting, so there is precedent.. not that it matters). It has to do with what's fair.
2) When a system is wrong, you don't say "Well.. that's the system. We should continue those practices." You fix it.
Also, your analogy is incredibly stupid. If murder were historically "punished" with an ice cream cone, would you think the ethically correct thign to do to the next murderer would be to give him an ice cream cone?
