Cheaters Never Prosper

Granted an interview with the former Managing Editor of Bluff Magazine, one might ask if the cheating scandal at the Full Tilt online casino poker site was worth the costs. Both Chris Vaughan and Sorel Mizzi were caught in a cheating scandal that has both damaged their reputations in the online casinos poker industry and caused some concerns among players. Just like the land-based gambling industry, the internet poker industry suffers from concerns that the companies can not adequately guard against cheating scandals.

At the same time though, considering that the two gentlemen caught cheating were poker professionals and had stellar reputations in both land poker tournaments, and at the popular online casinos, it is surprising that Mizzi and Vaughan were willing to damage their reputations for a tournament. And beyond just the reactions of the online casinos industry, the two gentlemen have had other setbacks.

Mizzi has a long road back before all of his tournament winnings stop becoming suspect, and even then, the young poker professional (just 21 and already a force to be reckoned with online or and the land poker tourneys) will have suffer from speculation about his honesty for much of his career.

And as for Vaughan, as the Managing Editor of the top poker magazine in Europe, he has now lost his credibility and his job. Bluff media announced that based on the reactions of the online casinos industry, and with the nature of his deceit, the company was forced to fire him.

And whereas Vaughan is certainly a skilled poker player and has won his fair share of the online casino and land-based poker tourneys, he was not considered one of the top in the industry and certainly was not a career poker player like Mizzi. Mizzi has time to reestablish himself in the internet poker industry, and to reestablish credibility. Vaughan on the other hand may very well have cost himself any future career in magazine editing.
