Let's stop with the conspiracy theories please, Stars obv require a higher burden of proof than we do and these things take time. Of course their detection methods and resources can surely be significantly improved (pasta reported them last year, wtf?!) and it's a huge deal, but they're on the same side as us here.
Not for no reason is the national anthem, of the Isle Of Man, 'Do What You Like' by Take That. 'Shoeshine' Devine, 'Rottweiler' Rutherford, and their ilk are merely tame patsies, blockers protecting Star's/Tilt's autonomy and keeping the tax revenue flowing. And 'nifty' Norma, at the U.K GC can, on occasion, utilise the kind of footwork that seperates the Lionel Messi's from the Shaun Wright-Phillip's.
Regulatory implications
On a more serious note, the poker community owes Schwein, et al, a huge thanks for their painstaking work.
