I thought this too. Would be a brilliant scam if true. Fake an exploit, hire a guy to expose you, rig your games.
Maybe, but then how do you explain his public display of stupidity and rudeness?
He would play that part, so that people would think that he is too stupid to find/fix the exploit. Rudeness to help people justify taking advantage of the exploit because he is a jerk.
Im not saying this is what happened, just that it would be dam near the prefect setup for a short term money grab.
