We discovered the account in a routine check. No other bookmaker has voided these bets as far as we know. We only heard/read, that some of these matches were regarded highly suspicous. But as there was no hard proof, they were graded.
We tagged the account as highly suspicious before we even discovered that the account actually belongs to an Ukrainian individual and that these players, who lost the match seemingly on purpose were also Ukrainian.
The market maker / counterparty in this bet has actually hedged the bet we learnt, so he does not have to be compensated if arbitrator decides so. It would also be acceptable for us and the market maker, if we donated the 799mBTC to charity. Just giving it back to the alleged criminal involved in match-fixing would be the wrong thing to do.

We only live off the commission. Our only incentive here is to keep our site clean and send a clear message to all scammers. That's also why our sites are invite-only.
The whole betting world would be better off, if 99.9% likelihood that a certain user is a scammer would be sufficient to confiscate funds and send it to charity. 100% proof is often difficult to achieve.
All things combined, we see a > 99.9% likelihood, that @newfish1 is somehow involved in betting fraud.
And we are still looking for an arbitrator. It can be anyone with some online reputation in the sector.
