Ok, I'm gonna be the dumb donkey and ask - how is this relevant to anything? Is Dooglus now a hacker-extortionist?
That is what I believe yes. I have spent some time compiling information, however it is now late. I will post information/proof tomorrow evening after spending a little more time on it.

So, we are adding mistaken Provably Fair system and there immediately comes a deposit from Dooglus. (he saw a mistake, he decided not to warn us about it immediately, but it still could be warned by Arrogant, he decided to use the bug to make 10 BTC from 0.1). After that happens he PM me with screens and ask for BTC for that bug.
--snip--
And so, for what he received the money? For cheating? Not of course. For bug finding? No, for bug, that could be found by everyone he deserved the maximum 0.2 BTC. He received his money for silence and only for this we gave him the money. And what he do immediately after receiving the money? Certainly tells all about our mistakes.
So I don't understand completely.. But it does sound kinda like blackmail, which I think is very unfair.. But I don't know the whole story, good luck to all parties
I told him about the exploit and asked what it was worth.
He suggested 0.2 BTC, I asked for 1 BTC. He agreed.

I don't see where blackmail comes in to it.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11780050the admin of the site seems rather hostile and is trying to rip both me and dooglus off, demanding a lower bounty for the deal, i am entertaining offers in this thread or through pm regarding this. a percentage of this will be paid to dooglus for his help in confirming this issue.

The dooglus thing isn't the full truth either.
I never once said I would give him a bug bounty and he never reported a bug to me.
I was asking him in pm about a bug and eventually he was able to figure out what was wrong and told me.
--snip--
notes1 - I was not able to locate any kind of bug bounty program for this site, which means that using the exploit (even if a W/D was not attempted) was unauthorized. The way that dooglus described his interaction with this person sounds a lot like extortion to me.
2 - dooglus was not directly extorting the owners of crypto-games, however I believe he at the very least was acting as an accomplice, and appears to have been extorting them via proxy as it was announced that dooglus would receive a percentage of the proceeds
3 - This is not a hacking attempt as there was an invitation to find the bug, however it is a clear extortion attempt (not sure if "attempt is the correct word as it was successful), as no agreement for payment was ever made in any way, however dooglus left negative trust with the intention of strong-arming the owner of that site into paying dooglus money that he was not due.
This was high on the list of what to possibly make "chapter 2", however as mentioned above, I had not put very much effort into gathering evidence/information as it appears that people generally do not care about dooglus' past indiscretions. I may create a thread about dooglus' history of extortion this weekend (IIRC there are more examples of this....I just need to spend more time into [re]gathering information).
