On top of that, I’m an agent with multiple players on a poker app. Constantly loading/withdrawing/transferring and coaching a few players. Again, some players sitting next to me can confirm this before the cell phone use was banned.

I found these tweets interesting, he says that cell phone use was banned at some point. I'm curious when that happened and why.
I was going to take time to make a post trying to construct a reality under the assumption that Mike's word was gold and maybe he didn't have access to info others didn't. The fact he admitted to watching the stream while playing indicates to me that he wasn't playing in good faith, and saved me some time.
If there are lessons from this I think they are-
1. Information is valuable. If someone has access to infromation others dont', they have an edge. In a game that is supposed to put all parties on an equal footing, some parties having access to information other's don't is unfair.
2.RFID is a vulnerability. Even if it wasn't exploited in this case, rfid card identifiers are a horrible idea. <3 lipstick cams.
3. Legitimate broadcasts use time delays for a reason.
