Searching, detecting and eradicating teams

[bigpooch]

Unfortunately, I do have a very mean streak as you may have
inferred from some of my previous posts. As I have said
before, if I had different beliefs, I would think of
(_v_)(_v_)inating every cheater on the planet, especially
those that cheat at cards (being an avid card player!).

Now, can anyone suggest some brilliant ideas to this
project: the search for, the detection of and the ultimate
eradication of teams that collude in online poker play at
any site. Obviously, it is important to have detailed
records of when players play, their actual hands, all the
records of transfers of funds (it even might be important to
know about NeTeller transfers, etc.). I have some ideas of
collusion detection, but I am sure that there have been
hundreds of hours spent already in thinking about excellent
ideas in detecting it, especially at the big four.

A radical idea to keep the ball rolling: have a mole/snitch
join some collusion team; better yet, have several moles or
snitches infiltrate the online collusion racket and get some
information on as many teams that exist as possible. I am
quite sure that a hundred or so willing moles/snitches would
suffice to clean up all but the most sophisticated teams.

Any helpful comments would be most welcome!
