Why?

You mean cheaters who have taken other players for what would appear to be considerable sums deserve a second chance? No, not in my book. And what became obvious at the WSOP is the likes of Kenney, Imsirovic and Schindler have no shame as they all showed to play regardless of the accusations out in the public domain. As Matt Berkey said as these scandals unfurled, the fact is some in the poker community seem to wear cheating as a badge of honor - it's cool to use any edge you can.

I have maintained for a while the idea there would be true bans on cheaters was dubious and this confirms it in my opinion. Also, I have now stated several times why I think GG Poker has an issue with this due to their recent history which would appear to have encouraged the likes of Bryn Kenney in his endeavors and the fact that patently they allowed Americans to access the site which was (and largely still is) illegal.

So, in the space of less than a year we have gone from poker professionals themselves demanding something to be done to a 'promise' of bans on line and live (which expired by the time we hit the WSOP) to now an olive branch to prior cheaters?

My belief is that the sites know (and rely on) the fact that cheating is mainly exposed on a higher buy in/roller level so the average player is not going to be too put out at the idea high rollers are shafting each other
