I'd like to use an analogy. In chess club some dude came every week and played a damn strong game. He read zero books, analysed zero games he just played. He played a Swedish National Team member and won. Next week he lost after the person he beat analyzed the game and studied. Its fair to say the studying helped him, but it doesn't mean he did it himself.

You've got to be kidding. That was for the former violation, we can only guess how much he won off that.
So now he has won 4 million, foul play was involved, TFP says so with the suspension. Yet he doesn't get to pay back every single cent? With interest of course.

At some point I was considering sticking money onto FTP, that won't happen now. Yeah, I can only supply pathetic cash compared, and they probably don't give a crap. Alas, FTP, you're saying your user cheated, but you're doing nothing about fixing it for the person being cheated? Pathetic.

Townsend didn't win the money, Hastings did.

Overheard in a FT company meeting:

Hey, let's make a bunch of rules that really are stupid and that we can't enforce.
