No I am not joking.
Barring a culpable party coming right out and confessing that there is collusion/cheating, we have no conclusive proof that he ever cheated at this point.
There are players that have stolen 10x more than Mike has made who are welcome at the WSOP and casinos around the country.
Stones got their rake regardless, so they have no incentive to launch a conclusive investigation.
The even the educated assertations here aren't real proof. If we apply that standard to deciding who gets banned from casinos, then good faith players could suffer.
Linus, OTB, and the Russians could be banned from live venues if our standard for who could and couldn't play was based on a preponderance of opinions, depending on who was stating those opinions.
Of course they don't take the same lines as Mike's suspect ones...but they take different lines than your average full ring reg, and they win with them.
Without hard proof, what's the difference?
