I don't expect anything to come of it based on his statement alone, but I do actually believe this player encountered an improbable house advantage in this game and understand his reasons for not disclosing his information. Considering this game was actually proven to be unfair recently, I think your statement about prior data being irrelevant is completely out of line.

I think this is a poor analogy. To me a more appropriate one would be "You find an unauthorized transaction on your credit card statement. Should you check previous months and see if there are more suspect charges?"

If you think it would be productive, perhaps you should focus on that and provide something solid that supports your claim. No offense, but I think you would be fare better if you could come up with something plausible and verifiable to back up your conclusions.

My feeling is that because there's no way to force them to turn anything over, and no way to verify the authenticity of what they provide, that there will be no conclusive results from any investigation other than the one that thelawnet started with his post which proved conclusively that the game was unfair during the testing period. As far as I'm concerned there was nothing more for them to say after the game was proven unfair, the subsequent fix, and the subsequent denial.
