Some of these pros were indeed stupid in that they had a 250k life roll and 230k of it was on Full Tilt.
I used to repeatedly warn everyone not to do things like that, as even the most "stable" sites were still operating illegally and without regulation, so your money was not as safe as it appeared.
However, I'm still in the camp to where you don't blame a victim of a theft just because they acted stupidly with their money.
For example, if you left $20,000 sitting on the passenger seat of your parked car, and came back to find the window smashed and the $20k gone, I would be the first person to say that you were an idiot. However, the guy who stole it is still a scumbag thief and still deserves to be punished for his crime. And you still have the right to be pissed at him.
