**** March High Stakes Thread **** - Page 10 - Poker News

Justin Bonomo did what he did. he knew it was both morally wrong and against the site rules. He stole money. He has not done time or lost his job, and is making millions of dollars playing poker.
How has he paid his time?

Bonomo's fluffer?

chillout, but i stand by my point. He cheated the poker economy out of alot of money. Thankfully for him he got the mildest sentence (banned from poker) and in any other industry this sort of fraud would result in prison or been permanently expelled from his industry.

Hes hardly in a position to pass judgement or regulate peoples accounts so he'd be better off keeping his thoughts to himself.

FWIW that was my 1st post in NVG :P

Hacking into someone's account and stealing all their money is against the T+C. Swearing in chat is also against the T+C. According to you then, these actions are morally (or rather immorally) equivalent?

No really, he's one of the most honest guys in the game. One of the hardest working players in the game and he gives so much back to the game.
