I think when gamblers lose more money than they can afford to lose, they become desperate, they try every single method they can to get some money out, they hope that places will give them hush money as well and they just spit bs like this all the time.

I have seen so many people who have tried to do the same. Hell I am not going to lie, I did something similar back in the day when it was satoshidice and way early days (there wasn't any off-chain dice to give you an idea) but it was due to misunderstanding, they explained to be what the problem was and we figured it out and they sent me my money back, no loss no profit just money back and we came to an agreement, but if I didn't, I would have probably lost all that money.

So, if you say there are drug deals and so forth and make stuff up, you will get nothing, but if you believe you are right, it doesn't hurt to get their attention somehow.
