So would you say the same about a poker player who marked cards with invisible ink that only he can see with his special glasses?

You seem to be arguing that there is no such thing as cheating unless you get caught.

Which is also what I'm hearing from the article. "I've done it, but now I've stopped doing it, and everybody who still does it is bad and cheating". Sounds like "yeah, market manipulation is terrible and evil, and now that I've made my millions from doing it, we should all stop" to me.
