By and large it is not proven that bots exist in any large scale.

The operator running his bots would be a betrayal and probably end the business of the poker site involved.

This was early in the online poker hype. I worked there for about a year, and they didn’t last long after I left the company. Forum posts from when they were still in business showed players suspected bot activity. The company wasn’t all that big, and I’m sure the lack of player trust did them in.

Maybe it’s worth a couple hundred words.
