They don't need skype to do it, Just have a programmer on the inside. I can only imagine how many players, site operators & owners have cheated over the years that we don't know about.
Ive decided from here on out I will keep numerous records & recordings of any online play I have. I wished that I had kept all of my hand histories in the past as I had proof of cheating.
If you ask Full Tilt and PokerStars to send you your hand histories they will, although I'm not sure how many years they can go back.
But .... you weren't keeping records prior to now? That seems kinda dumb. Did you pay income taxes on your online winnings?
Did you keep records of your live play?
EDIT:
Also, I'm not sure how much the "one famous well off guy cheated by tricking other players into letting him see their screen and therefore a lot of not famous less well off guys are probably cheating perhaps by getting a programmer to change the code in the RNG" argument is really worth.
