The point is that others in the same industry broke the "law" a thousand times worse and nothing happened to them. They are not enforced uniformly.

The "law" in this case is actually a complete joke, as evidenced by the lack of true punishment for all the actual perilous figures in online poker history. Granted it excites you to see your former buddy in trouble but your bias is so strong that you haven't thought this one out clearly imo.

You're basically championing someone getting in trouble for knowingly breaking the law, despite the fact that the law itself is total bullshit and was created for bullshit reasons, not to protect anyone or do any actual good.

Not all laws are good laws, which of course does not support breaking them but...mindless laws should in no way be praised when they are enforced.
