I'm with the "it depends" group.
How big of a hobby crime, and what?
And oddly I agree with Snowman, who decides what a hobby crime is?
I'm against cutting up the surviving strip card strips. and think of it as a sort of hobby crime. Others only see the money and say "cut away!" I wouldn't want someone banned if their crime was a fairly minor one.
Someone like Mastro had to have a decent amount of knowledge and connections to do what he did. And yes, that would be a tough call whether the knowledge outweighed the crimes.
I also really doubt that if we go the route of absolutes anyone would still be here.
