Default El Capitano/Gigabet article in Bluff mentions potential abuse on Stars

There is an article that I read in the latest issue of Bluff magazine with Mike Matusow on the cover that mentions a few things that are bothering me.

It mentions a bet that was made about the Pokerstars TLB and focused on a few key players, mainly Gigabet and El Capitano. It goes on to mention that the El Capitano account is owned by Marcel Luske but was being used by one of his proteges. It went on to say that towards the end of this "bet" that there were a TEAM of players using that one account to pad his lead on the TLB. Pretty much that they were playing 24 hours a day to do so.

My question is, how in the hell does this not violate the T&C's of the Pokerstars user agreement? I find this not only unethical but very troublesome. I realize that this can go on without anyone knowing but I would think that an account that's active for 24 hours at a time would raise a red flag with Pokerstars. Worse case, it's a bot. Best case, it's a team playing on one account. Either way, it's wrong.
