Yeah, its been about 13 months for the film but it does feel like 4-5 years of seriously following the case. I'm not saying Leggett gets a pass. I'm saying that out of all the involved actors, he gets brushed as worse than his actions warrant. The UB founders (ie Greg guided by Dan) slowrolled the investigation to the point they pissed off people who were willing to do more to get past the scandal. They went out of their way to make Leggett look stupid and compromised by laying those bs stories about RAID failures off on him. The guy who truly looks evil is Uri Kozai for covering all the tracks.
Even Net Loss is not a completely wrong notion when you consider that all players (even superusers) lose in the blinds. But when you hear them talking about using Net Loss to hide cheating and to repay less, Leggett obviously didn't go along willingly. One of the things that has taken a lot of time recently was we did a significant statistical random sampling on the player refunds and ultimately concluded the money they claimed mostly got paid back.
Pierson's single greatest strength appears to be an ability to turn a monster into nut low for most everyone around him while still dragging the big pots for himself and his closest cronies.
