Could you be implicated? Do you have to return the extra cash? Or do you get to keep your ill gotten gains?

From my understanding you'd be in the clear unless the reasoning around pulling out your money is that you were aware that it was illegal and you didn't report it.
But from everything I've read these operators will do everything to prevent you from withdrawing your funds, right up to appealing to your greed and adding a guaranteed higher percentage point.
