It is a shame that guys like Pino give this industry a bad name.
There is no logic to you not paying this guy Pino. From a PR perspective you are losing the battle. If you pay the man, at least other players will feel that you eventually did the right thing, which is better than not doing it. Keep this in mind, if you pay the player some people will never play with (too late for them) but others will say maybe this is an isolated case and he eventually did the right thing. They will at the very least feel that you are a man of reason and changed your mind. That does say alot. And certainly alot more than stiffing without giving any credible evidence of cheating.
If you want to boot a play for winning that is your perogative, but don't hold back money that he won at your shop. Salvage what is left of your reputation by doing the right thing and paying this player!
