By the online reaction you'd have thought He would've been risking death if he showed his face at the WSOP ever again. When he did there were a few snide remarks, but the internet vigilantes were, amazingly, nowhere to be found.

This has nothing to do with law enforcement issues, but with the internet muscles that people think will lead to live confrontation at an industry event.

You're confusing what happened at ultimate bet and absolute poker with the full tilt scandal. Full tilt basically stole player funds and didn't have the money to pay players when the government effectively made these sites illegal in the US. Furgeson and Lederer are believed to be involved but did not have access to anyone's hole cards.

Not confusing anything. My entire post was about Russ Hamilton.

I didn't realize he played the wsop again. I know no one was pleased when the full tilt guys showed up.

Russ has no conscience. While what Howard and Chris did was bad too, they at least expressed remorse for basically not paying enough attention. Whether you believe that was their only level of culpability is another story entirely. But yeah same idea, "Oh if they ever show their face they're gonna get their asses kicked" or reality which was a lot of people mumbling under their breath.

I remember reading on 2+2 about the scathing dirty looks Ferguson and Lederer received when they showed up at the WSOP.
