It's a $12 Billion business and over the years there's been a number of security breaches, ex employees hacking sites and using "Super User" accounts (Absolute Poker) and plenty of other high profile scandals.

It's no different than your site being littered by ads all along the right side. FullTilt is putting up $10K for his buy-in because he's gonna get TV coverage, player bio time, etc. Tech "douches" like us, just might put our iPhones, Pre's, and Android's down for 5 minutes, turn on ESPN, see this guy on TV, relate to him, and start playing poker...perhaps at FullTilt. The online poker industry is in a heated battle with the government and the more high-profile upstanding citizens that are seen playing the game just might help someone in Washington pull their head out of their ass.
