Follow the money.  Where there is money, there are thieves.  Wells Fargo is a huge US Bank with billions of dollars in annual profits and the bank and their employees found ways to cheat the system and customers to make even more money.  I'm not saying any live or on-line game is cheating, but I find it absurd for someone to believe there is zero reason for anyone to cheat when there is money flowing left and right.

There have been cases of on-line poker cheats.  Sure the site is making their cut, but if they could rig the software to have one hand in 1000 be a win for a house bot, no one would be the wiser and the house could be up millions of dollars over the course of a year.  It could be a completely honest house but a software engineer programs some sort of back door to give him access to a cheat system.  Banks have been robbed under a similar process.  Again, I'm not saying it is happening or even likely to happen, but there is plenty of incentive for it to happen.

In live games, there have been reported cases of a dealer flashing cards to a player in the one seat.  Does P1 call the all-in in the hopes he catches an out to win the pot?  Only if the dealer shows him it is safe to do so.  The dealer will never get away with that for long because the security cams will spot him sooner or later, but in a small, backwater poker room, could it happen if the house was in on it?  Of course.
