Exactly if a single rogue programmer could inject malicious code into production software I wonder how good their code audits are. Does anyone in the company even know what their codebase is doing.
Of course that is no excuse for the criminal behavior but remind me to never use anything produced by ESEA. Ironically the purpose of the software is to prevent cheating I guess the malicious programmer could just as easily have written in backdoors which the integrity challenged could have paid to access .... in Bitcoins.
