What should FullTilt Poker do?

Question

Alright. I went on the full tilt poker forums to scam people for real money. i was desperate and really wanted to play in the tournaments. after i scam someone for $120, i read on the forum that they will ban my account so i panicked. and sent $110 to internet friend. and he was surprised when he received it and didn't know where it was from. he has been playing online poker for years and has $400 in there. now they banned my account, which i deserved and even banned his account and forfeit all money in his account even though i sent him the money and he had no choice. now he is mad at me and i been sending emails to full tilt. we were both playing at the same time so they can check to see if it is different ip address. what do you think they will do? they already returned the money to the guy that i scammed. i don't care about my account or anything, i regretted what i did. now my friend gets in trouble and loses $400 because of me

Answer 1

the site did what it had to do to protect the other players.when you transferred the funds you included the other person in your scam. the site has no choice but conclude the other person was involved.i my opinion all sites should work together and if someone is ban from one site for a scam ,even an attempt to scam other players they should be ban from all sites.brick and mortar casinos work together on this problem internet sites should be able to also.

Answer 2

Sounds like they did the right thing.  Your friend needs to beat you to a pulp, as do the rest of the poker playing community.  Maybe Yahoo can ban your account as well.
