Aeq, I strongly suggest you go after this individual to the fullest extent of your capabilities. By aggressively pursuing prosecution of this individual you ensure that this individual does not repeat this crime, particularly against a more helpless victim that he/she can really hurt financially.

Also, this is part of the problem with the nebulous legal nature of online poker. But you still have the NETELLER fraud to hit this person with, even if you don’t want to get into the pokerstars part of the crimes this person committed against you.

Revealing the identity of this person is of minor importance. This will come out in good time. Taking steps to ensure the mechanism this person exploited is no longer in place is of far more importance.

You’re a young lawyer, I am sure you have read some of the classics. WWJCD? (What would Julius Caesar do?) Get Roman on their ass.

I still don't understand how he got into your neteller account. Was this person a friend of yours, that you met on here? Is that it. Did you ever let him play on your account? Did he hijack your computer or just guess your Yahoo password and got into your Yahoo account where all your passwords were stored?

Glad you caught the s.o.b.

If I were you though, I'd report him. He might be scamming other people and it's up to you, since you know who it is, to stop him.

edit: I tried posting this right after my last post, but didn't seem to work. But I fully agree with Mel on this one. You can't just think of your case, Aeq. You have to think of all the other people he might have done this to or will do. You can't pardon him, by letting him go free after he compensates you for your loss. It's not right.
