Poker has nothing to do with hustling - all you're doing is promoting the worst stereotype of the game - and so is anyone who multi accounts and then tries to somehow rationalize their actions when caught red handed. Of course there are very large sums of money in play and that will always lend itself to people using every tool possible to make as much as possible (such is life - go look at any wall street firm that america looks up to as a pillar of industry and see how much they've paid in fines for breaking the rules in the last 10 years). but many great poker players sit down at the table and follow the same rules as everyone else and still crush. If you think all poker players are just hustlers then maybe you need to work on your game.
I can't fathom multi accounting against people I already have reads on and making enough money to live off for my entire life and somehow thinking I've done nothing wrong. You can argue the legality of breaking a company's TOS, but it's just common sense that you're crossing ethical and moral lines if you play a game for money and break the rules secretly to gain an advantage over your opponents.
In professional sports they catch people for breaking the rules to gain an advantage all the time, and while technically not necessarily illegal there are certainly civil repercussions for not following the terms of service when interacting with a company you choose to do business with, if you feel the need to dumb it down to that level.
