It recently got hacked a couple hours ago including two friends of my mine, Flan and Loz that got robbed at least about 100k plus in items alone.

(Ballpark 3000$?) Then you factor in website prices, and whatnot. If they pocketed every single $ and had to pay for nothing (like the website and the accounts themself), it would take them 50 months to pay it off. I dont think everyone is getting reimbursed, as sad as it is. Kwas and JayTuut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyfer Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Of course, I dont know how many of those bots are premium, and I did read somewhere that the damages were around 200k. Wasnt sure which to go with, so i averaged 150k. But even if all the bots were premium, itd still take them a little over 2 years worth of salary to pay it off. Theyve only been running for about 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadgladiatoruser Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Cave himself stated that repaying 8.6k that was lost is about 8 months of profit, 250k (rough estimate rn) would take wayyy longer than 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which obviously that doesnt happen because there is expenses and other stuff to be paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucyfer Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Im going to do what I can do help people out who were affected by this. If someone can compile a list of everyone they can find who was affected by this, and how much they lost, that would make my life easier. More details later. I have 3hrs left of my work shift.

Bananas Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Meh, on the fence about this. On one hand, it’s terrible that even in 2023, there is literally nothing preventing bad actors from committing actual crime (120,000 USD is quite a bit for a fucking tf2 heist). On the other hand, GOD DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bots were making so much fucking money that over 100k could get yoinked from what basically amounts to lines of code attached to steam accounts. I don’t feel super bad for the dudes who sat there and just hoarded stuff from players cashing out using their bots and then flipped it 3-10x. If you have money, you’ll make money. I’m sure they’ll recover AwesomeSause, PixelDew, Esteban and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I know a lot less people will probably want to use Gladiator, this campaign im creating is mainly targeted towards the users who lost something. This isn't going to be one of those situations where somebody beloved on the internet was morally wronged, and was given justice in the form of love and donations. They'll have friends who could show their condolences and help recoup some of the losses, but they're traders who lost money trying to make money, not heroes. This would be the equivalent of a youtuber setting up a gofundme for people that lost all of their money because a crypto brokerage they had all of their crypto stored on got hacked. In a perfect world, they shouldn't of had lost their money. But everyone with more than 5 brain cells knows, not your keys, not your crypto. People took the risk of trusting a 3rd party site with massive chunks of money in the prospect of making more money. But if it's not in your inventory, they aren't your items. I want to be optimistic for the victims, and I still hope something can be worked out, but even they have to acknowledge that if you play stupid games, you earn stupid prizes.
