ZeeJustin- was found to have been playing large tournaments with 6 different accounts at the same time. All of his money in those accounts was confiscated and he was banned by Party and is under investigation by Stars.
There will be many more well known players exposed in the coming weeks i believe.
Kudos to the poker sites for trying to clean up the damage caused by these cheaters.

Thanks for posting this, Paul. I am really shocked. These are purportedly well-known players, so they must have been around for a while and playing large tournaments. One had $180K confiscated and presumably he didn't accumulate that overnight.
Why did it take sites like Pokerstars and Party so long to find out he had six different accounts all with the same IPO???
I visited the 2+2 MOAT (Mother Of All Threads) and there are probably good morsels of info here and there buried in it but i can't wade my way through it.
If this has been going on undetected for so long involving quite a few big name online players, you can just imagine how much collusion goes undetected which is a bit more difficult to detect than a guy playing the same tournament with 6 different accounts.
