I'm not saying it couldn't be happening or didn't happen but is there proof that it is happening or happened? The stuff that kid Ethan posted was not that public knowledge at the time and then he won on Fanduel?

But the # of saying Draftkings employees won xxx at fanduel is just stupid because they are only talking about payouts here. it is like the old hendon mob thing where some guys have 10 million in tourney scores where they are breakeven players etc..
It doesn't matter if there is proof that they used the info for profit.

It matters that they COULD have, and it further matters that circumstantial evidence shows that they did.

At the very least, we have evidence that:

1) DraftKings employees (though we're not sure how many) had access to very valuable info
-and-
2) DraftKings employees who had the access played on FanDuel and did really well

That by itself is a huge scandal, even if it turns out that it was a sheer coincidence that they had access to such data and also kicked ass on FanDuel.
How do u know they could have seen the info? Im not saying i believe the guy but the draftkings ceo says nobody can see that info till lineups lock. So there is no proof and yes u need some kind of proof. Not just that some employees won money. They are allowed to play on competing sites. Draftkings internal investigation turned up nothing and thats not surprising. However on outside the lines they did report that there is an independent investigation from some firm headed by some former u.s. Attorney.

If there is proof they were getting insider info then thats more or less theft. But there is still 0 proof this stuff is even accessible.

Unless i missed the part where it is proven that draftkings employees have access to all of the data openly on their site then this is just a media blowup over nothing and people are taking the bait
