Again, a pile of C... . The "hack" was planned as a fail-safe to mitigate an eventual justice problem... (made by the owners and his team as a convenient cover-up story) , there is no fraudsters tale..., they deserve what's coming to them.
I responded to your other post.

Anyway, if you're really security oriented, you should know first hand, that an IP is not a reliable proof of source whatsoever (Proxy, vpn, bounce, bot, Corrupted servers, PC zombies etc...)
I'm not trying to argue more but, the point IS that Midas owner scammed these people, no matter the "tales". Periode.
