:laughing:Last week, a DraftKings employee admitted to inadvertently releasing data before the start of the third week of N.F.L. games, a move akin to insider trading in the stock market. The employee a midlevel content manager won $350,000 at rival site FanDuel that same week.

They can encrypt it all they want, it won't help much when a couple of insiders have the encryption key at their disposal.
These guys got caught playing knowing ownership %s which isn't as bad as entering winning line ups midway or towards the end of game.
Encrypted and hosted by a third-party regulator.
Yes that will work if they let it happen.
Don't worry, if they go Public they will go away... to a ZERO
If there is a god they go public and I get rich.

For those that don't wanna read it..........summing it up....... inside computer guys re-used unclaimed tickets to print out the first 5 winners and then wheel the last leg. Almost gotta away with it long term. Printing money and the gullible public struggles on.
Thats how easy the lineups can be changed at DFS. Its really that simple folks. thanks for posting Ron
Uhh ohhh
Don't even need to cheat that blatantly if you have access to everyone's lineup before hand. 1% of the players win all the money, if you know who those guys are on you can join them without doing any work.
Please check the DailyFantasyTalk forum for more updates. This was shared over there and on twitter.

TL;DR (Too Long, Didn't Read)
1. DK employee knows about line-up percentages on beforehand.
2. Other DK employee sees from data that player is a loser on DK and starts targeting him for H2H matches on Fanduel.
It's too bad greed got in the way for these guys. They stand to make a ton of money by just operating legally and not getting shut down. It's like offshore sports books. Sure, they could scam everyone and make a lot short term, but why do that when you can make more money in the long run just by taking bets.
Yeah on 50/50s and H2H but not on giant GPP's you need to maneuver the lineups.
here are 4 guys who win a lot says my buddy..I dont play DFS so I'm only quoting him
1... Maxdualary
2.. Underjones
3... RayofHope
4... Krunch3r
Next round of funding won't come so quickly.
You never know Obi, there are so many rich fish in the pond. I'm kind of sad all this unfolded now and not later when they go public.
Here's the original article I believe.
