You brought it to Stars' attention via 2+2, and after Lee Jones promised an investigation and subsequent action, the ultimate solution is to screw the rightful winners out of thousands of dollars each.

Then you think back and recall that Pokerstars stole as much as $24.99 from every US player (yourself included) through their obnoxious cashout policy of FPPs after black Friday.

Then you turn on your computer and see that they accidentally put an extra $1100 in your account, that you can easily cash out with no legal consequence.

Do you SERIOUSLY e-mail Stars and tell them to take their $1100 back? Even after all of the above?

If so, I'm sure you've been taken advantage of by many people in your life.

Pokerstars ALWAYS looks out for its own interests.

You need to look out for yours, not theirs.

If you are a really, super-duper nice guy, you take the $1100 and give it back to the Stars players who were collectively cheated out of their FPPs.

But you definitely don't give it back to the company that stole so much US money in the first place (including yours).

theft is theft no matter from who or what
Do you think what Stars did with the FPPs was theft?

Do you think that what they did with the ZOOM tournament (AFTER knowing all of the details) was theft?

Do you think Stars allowing a multi-accounter to cash for hundreds of thousands in a tournament was theft?
