I think that this is a specific issue that does need to be addressed here for the benefit of US players who deserve as much information as possible before depositing their money on a site.
Currently 2+2 is investigating recent claims of massive cheating on WPN in the form of bots, multi-accounting, and exploitation of certain tournament late-registration loopholes. There have been claims of unfair practices on WPN for years, but they recently became prominent when ChicagoJoey, one of the most popular poker youtubers today, made some accusations of cheating on WPN:

Because of these accusations, Mason Malmuth, the owner of 2+2, is conducting an inquiry into cheating on the site. There should be some statement from 2+2 soon.

I'd ask that this post be left here, as it is pertinent to Kahntrutahn's statement that he has no knowledge of a "fact finding" mission and that he has no knowledge of why people should stop recommending WPN.
Whether or not the accusations prove to be actionable, there is an inquiry into cheating on the site, and I think that any players deserve to know this when considering what site to use.
