No, but I know what it's about.
And with VERY few exception, the "backrooming" (and other illegal stuff) is
done to table players. I am aware of hundreds of instances where VP players
took advantage of some kind of casino error, and am not aware of any
punishment having been doled out, with only one notable exception--when Rampart (not
the original name) first opened.
A few times, machines have given WAY more points than they were supposed to,
and the casino just usually takes the extra points back when they discover
the error, and sometimes warns the players involved. The exception is the one I
noted above.
There was a "backrooming" thread here some time ago, I suggest anyone
interested look in the archives.

My understanding is, when the casino makes a mistake that financially
benefits players, it's usually too bad for the casino. The casino

prove that the players knew that there was a problem, that the

took advantage of the problem (and the burden of proof would be on the
casino--a nearly impossible burden to meet), identify the particular
players, qua
ntify the amount each player made from the error, catch the players
involved,
and finally, prosecute them. Their only real hope would be to offer
to NOT
prosecute the players involved in exchange for getting their money
back. I
think it is doubtful that this would be worth the time and legal
expense for the
casino, even if it cost them half a mil.
