I don't know if there was more malice behind this, but if FortuneJack knew verusfides was a plinko player and had a good plinko win coming up from his seed, they might have wanted him to win using "fake balance" to avoid paying out a large win.
This seems like a conspiracy theory at best, do you really think they are monitoring players like that? Especially ones who make a 0.009
BTC deposit?
Probably not if they aren't even monitoring their own games paying 70 consecutive wins in a row and immediately contacting the effected players.
I guess that depends on several factors such as:
Do they have a specific system in place that can detect undetected bugs?
Did they have the correct personnel available at the time? (They should at all times, but perhaps they didn't at this time, right?)
Do they have it as normal protocol to monitor all games at all times? (Like some high tech security center at a vegas casino ((doubt it))).
Not disagreeing with you, but it is pretty reasonable to have staff monitor a newly released game that was basically in a beta state where players were betting real money.
