Well, if it is from a credible company with substantial foot print in the poker world, they should expose them and show rock solid proof. That would likely remove most sponsored pros from the network. If it was disgruntled live game pros with any real recognition, it would likely remove them from the game, at least for a while.
If the attacker was one of the big two, iPoker or PS, then public proof could likely cost them their associations with the live game organizations like WSOP and WPT. Since PS is public, they are under the eyes of regulators and this would bring about a serious issue for them.
A small traffic network would probably have little impact on their bottom line, but would further cast doubt over the industry. They may even have recourse with the KGC. Most importantly, to air the proof would also give WPN more credibility since there is a fair amount of conspiracy theorists that think they are out to scam the players.
There are also more nefarious ways of explaining how it was the wrong thing to do to the perpetrator. Personally, I would absolutely leave them on the table.

Why? If it was your business, would you not try to find out who was attacking you? It would be outright foolish not to try to find out who is behind it.
