Chip dumping is oftenly done when you have a stolen credit card, start a fake account, dump the money to a legitimate account and then cash out.

That's a completely different issue. I mean, why transfer chips? Why not just cash in the chips and hand the guy the cash? In person is a totally different deal...

Ah, that explains why I've seen so much blatant chip dumping when scanning for good tables on Interpoker (the one Crypto site I play) during US evening hours (the wee hours of the morning in Europe seem to be primetime for dumping, and there aren't many full tables with empty seats at the less popular games/stakes)

A typical scenario: two players will re-raise each other to ridicuous levels pre-flop, and then one will consistently fold to the last raise. Apparently they believe that hands that are folded pre-flop escape monitoring because "neither player knows for sure that they are ahead". Sure this kind of play can happen legitimately sometimes, but 4-5 hands in a row? Worse, they jump to another table as soon as the "Watching" list updates, and they see you observing.

The first few times I saw this, I reported it, but never got any reply from security. Eventually I stopped, because I felt like a tattletale who was being ignored by teacher. However, now that I realize it could be credit card fraud, I'm going to start reporting again. The CC companies may eat the monetary loss, but it can still be a big headache for the ordinary Joes whose card numbers they stole.

Now watch as I get flamed for reporting them, or people defend chip dumping/CC theft as 'part of the fiscal game".
