Your last paragraph rings especially loud. It's ridiculous how often the Player 'Advocates' of this industry will use a player's colourful language or anger as an excuse to ban them from their forums or refuse to help them etc.
I don't know what the social 'rule' is for this sort of thing, but if there was a Family Feud question about "appropriate reactions to theft of large amounts of money" - pretty sure "anger" would score a lot of points.
I would wager my life on it.

The player has now received the missing $1000, and this matter is finally closed.

Your efforts on this case were admirable and I applaud them.
And if the 'matter' is limited to Embalu ONLY, I agree the 1.5 year painful process is now closed. And I'm glad for Embalu.
But I would think the 'matter' is somewhat greater than Embalu and his stolen money. I would think the 'matter' would be the fact that it was stolen and only the casino group would know how many times they have done this. There are very few people who have Embalu's amazing strength and persistence. All those people [including me] would likely have never been heard from. Particularly if they didn't have Embalu's master of his non-native tongue.
The way I see it, the 'matter' has never been more OPEN. Or more unresolved.

I was referring only to the specific matter in hand, not the general status of the Rushmore group.
