Obviously, I hope all culpable parties are sued and jailed.
But nobody can think of one example of this ever happening to a poker cheat. Yet we've got the NSA decrypting their communications and the ever-vigilant California Gaming Commission assembling a task force.
IANAL but these don't seem like rich men. They made the money in cash and if you sued them individually, I'm not sure what you would even wind up getting. Most gamblers I know, who obtain their money legally, aren't really keen on keeping it in banks and stuff.
I couldn't find the case of the poker player who sued the bike for being cheated back in the 80s/90s but I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy and it did happen. He was a semi-well known player, I think Middle Eastern.
I did find this case where some guys sued the LA Card clubs for their jackpot scams. Thrown out of court. Part of the reason:

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Emile H. Elias ruled that state law prohibited the players from trying to recover gambling losses in the courts.

Don't know if and how that pertains to this case. But my guess is they get away with it outside of public embarrassment.
I loled. Been a while since I've seen a Hitler reaction.
