If you saw all those things...COMMON SENSE tells you it's legit....
If you saw all these things and still thought live poker was rigged, then you'd have to think the dealer is a magician and can deal any sequence of cards he wishes...which would be identified as "PARANOID!"
If the game is being dealt in a large known casino then it would be silly to think they would take the risk to cheat you or anyone.
If the live game was dealt in a basement with random people you have never seen, then common sense would dictate that bad things are more likely (though not guaranteed) to happen.
If the online game is dealt by a company with a long track record that deals literally thousands of hands per second, common sense would dictate that it is fair.
Of course, others believe the common sense approach is to assume that all of these thousands of hands per second are carefully manipulated based on vague assumptions to screw people (usually losing bitter players), all the while with not a single person involved in any of these frauds over the years over hundreds of online rooms telling, while also avoiding any detection from statistical studies.
Everyone has their own version of common sense. Some is a bit more uncommon, creative, and elaborate and as a result quite entertaining.

I suspect somehow he will manage to keep going on with life despite your beliefs.
If you quit online poker like Scoop, then props for you as well. Even if excuses and rationalizations about dark sinister forces are given for why you quit, at least you stopped playing a game you could not and likely could never beat.
All the best.
