posted before where block rewards were collected and payouts were coming from. When the hot wallet balance was too high, bitcoins were withdrawn, when it got low bitcoins were sent. However in the last two month, there wasn't a lot to withdraw, but they needed to add funds to the hot wallet several times to keep it balanced, see transactions
So they were paying out more than they received as block rewards for several weeks. I still hope there are enough BTC available from the better times of 50BTC to make a payout of all the open balances. Once they are restored ;-)
