Metawin is now in their limelight, they can never fabricate such a story and I don't know what they stand to gain doing that. What baffled me is that you ruled out that it can be an insider job, lol, you shouldn't do that because you are actually assuming that.
An insider job does not mean the gambling site owners know about the hack. It can be some of their workers. There are some cases that were investigated that were later known to be an inside jobs. All are guess, no one know who the hackers are.
You are right and I added it differently on the post you brought this excerpt. Trusted employees could do and undo, it's not news and it doesn't mean the management knows anything about it which I also believe is true in the case of Metawin. The management has nothing to gain in this heist since they do not let it affect their customer. This means that they are the ones who will singly face the brunt, we can only suspect the management if they are unable to pay or even close down.
To bad for them if they will be found out faking everything, but the way how it turns and days pass towards this incident happen there's no proof has been shown that this is an inside job.
What happen here is people got impressed towards how they deal with this situation and make everything looks like easy for them to solve those issues. Right now people almost forget about the issue if you visit their main thread and now they are talking about other events since people are not bother anymore with these hacking issues happen to their casino.
Everyone should moved forward already, the hacked had happened weeks ago and it seems that they have solved it already and also done their due diligence so that it won't happened again. Not sure where this so called inside job esteem from, but this is very bad and for those entities who spread this, it's obvious that they have their intentions from behind and I think that the gambling community will condone such actions.
And if you have to think about it, how can someone fake it when it involves a lot of money? Specially in this kind of business, so it's better to stop with this kind of insinuation as nothing has been proven that this is a self-inflicted hacked.
