Obviously, from the report of the RI/CT environmental people, and I suspect that they do not do these things half assed, and given the amount of Bass the paocher had, his ass should get tossed and if "Team Striper" goes out in solidarity with this poacher, then others from that team probably had knowledge of what he was doing as well.
The whole team should withdraw, if they don't there will always be a shadow of doubt as to the legality of the taking the Cup on thier part, accomplices or not to the acts of this loser.
It would actually be too bad if they don't as it will dampen the enthusiasm of the legitimate contestants for further participation.
OTW did the right thing in this case especially given the closeness of the end of the tourney, they had to act.
