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.
