I think it probably haunted Mike more than Ian judging by his actions.
I'm glad the story ended in forgiveness. People make mistakes, especially in critical moments when the stakes are high and emotions are surging.

That's how the term "mistake" is used in this article.
People commit crimes and describe them as mistakes. There's nothing confusing about that phrasing.
That’s part of what makes this such a great story. He knew it was cheating, even if it wasn’t cheating from a these are the rules perspective. That is, cheating exists within a cultural context, not just a written context. I feel like this is a weird place in American law: the law is an interpretive endeavor, and yet it is treated as a “rule” where loopholes are “ok” even if it’s not in line with the spirit of the law.
But from the comments it's less cheating (breaking the rules) as it was craven betrayal and fraud.
