If they randomly created bots or even used players that had access to the software, wouldn't that be an advantage to them.

Secondly, How would anyone ever know they were doing it.... I'm sure they have a great random number generator thats gets tested and certified, but anyone with adminstrator privileges would be able to see everyones hand. The company has the potential to skim a good deal of money off the top with very little "exposure" as you call it.

Of course saying the game is rigged is an easy excuse because you can't prove otherwise. I'm not stating that is or is not rigged, but the possibility of it is far more likely then you think.
I agree with you, but I honestly doubt people really care. If you really think about it, there is an infinite amount of screen names that someone could use and if crafty enough, who knows what damage could be done.

To give you an example of hilariousness, it has become a Sunday ritual that 4 of my friends play in those $10+$1 NL Holdem KO tourneys on Full Tilt. All four of them are in the same room, on the same wireless internet. Many times they have sat at the same table, pretty comedy
