I am interested in the audit findings. Everything is on the blockchain. Instead of speculation, I will withhold my opinion until definitive evidence is presented.

The social question I pose to the group is this:

1. If no malice or fraud is shown, the what? @nikflossus apologizes and the community embraces these users for running a legitimate endeavor. Resteeming and upvoting for them seems a reasonable compensation for potentially false accusations.
2. If found guilty of malice and fraud, then what? Do we ban or shun them? There really is no way to recover lost rewards and upvotes that a perpetrator has gained. What stops a bad actor from just creating a new account and starting over?

Do we institute a requirement for an independent 3rd party (holding org, trustee, or bonded administrator) to manage these games? How about mandating a digital contract, like Ethereum (or Steem perhaps), which runs the scripts and automatically dispenses payouts?

Recommendation
In the meantime, while we debate (as we should), how about for all such games of chance, we require the administrators to post the results which must include:

1. The outcome of the game (winner)
2. A list of player's usernames of the winners
3. Date and amount paid to the winners
4. Fees taken by the administrator

• This should be an independent post, completed within 1 week of the known outcome. I would recommend any upvote earnings for this post be given directly to the game administrator, as compensation for their effort and reward for their honesty & transparency.
