I guess they're too busy chasing after grandmas in MAGA hats that might have been near DC on Jan 6, or parents who asked angry questions at school board meetings.

Or if you want to get even more conspiratorial about motivation, perhaps the money funneling operations like Covid, fake civil rights groups and proxy war Ukraine aren’t enough cha-ching, and they are testing out more enterprising efforts to siphon the private sector.

baffled by an apparent lack of arrests despite many of the hackers being based in America.
Why would the FBI even think about arresting other FBI agents???

"I would love for somebody to explain it to me," said Michael Sentonas, president of CrowdStrike, one of the firms leading the response effort to the hacks. If the are skimming the hackers where is their motivation to turn off the tap???

"I would love for somebody to explain it to me," Maybe because it was discovered the hackers work for the US government.

I’m a good poker player, and have had a fair amount of success online.
But in recent years, it has been unreal, UNREAL, how longshot river after river had boned me. WELL beyond statistical quirks.
So I quit, and haven’t looked back.
My advice: Do NOT play poker online. It is rigged, either by the casino, or by hackers, or both.

This is why there was no Clorox on the shelf for a few weeks. The company was having to process orders by paper and pen.

“I guess they’re too busy chasing after grandmas in MAGA hats that might have been near DC on Jan 6. “
Me thinks you identified both the problem and the cause.
The article states that the president of a cybersecurity firm helping one of the hacked casinos “attributed law enforcement’s sluggish response to a lack of manpower.”
The FBI doesn’t have the “cyber pros” to investigate the casino hacks because most are working on J6 mobile phone geolocation identifications. There were probably thousands of active mobile phones in DC then.
The FBI has its priorities.

It’s not just casinos. Roughly 230 organizations have been hit, according to cybersecurity firm ZeroFox, a range of victims across nearly every industry, including telecoms, outsourcing firms, healthcare, and financial services.
The hackers are engaged in a range of illicit schemes, from sextortion and ransomware to phone-based scams and paying people to commit physical violence—also known as “violence-as-a-service.”

We use Crowdstrike security and I don’t trust it but McAfee was criminally terrible.

Hard to hack these analog devices... Harder to cheat the gambling customer too.
