Well, your idea of a cheat/hack is debatable. If you discover a bug, report it, and move on.. that's fine. However, that's NOT what he was doing. He found the bug, earned $100,000 for it, then proceeded to exploit that bug over and over for personal gain (which is the definition of "hacking" in an online game). Each time he did it, he did it enough to fill 3 pages of chat.. and he did this at least 15 times from what I saw. Once his bank account was full, he kept doing it and sent the money to other players until their banks were full.
Fixing the bug isn't a huge deal, seeing as how christmas is over. What does need to happen is that this kid needs to be punished.. at least in my opinion. Then again, I have ZERO tolerance for cheaters in online games. I've run countless servers for several different games, and been admin in many others.. something like this should never (in my opinion) go unpunished.
Anyway.. what's done is done. No point in me dragging on about it any more.
