In 2007 there was a big scandal on Absolute Poker where employees cheated internally and took millions off of players. In 2008, it was discovered that something similar was happening on UltimateBet. They refunded considerable amounts, I received a four figure refund but knew people getting as much as a quarter million back. These two sites were semi-boycotted by the online poker community (twoplustwo.com is the HN of online poker) but this ultimately didn't work. The reason being that recreational/poor players didn't know about the scandal and continued to play there, which made the games so easy to beat that many players tossed their morals aside and made a killing.
