The chat is buzzing with suggestions of how I can claw the losses back from investors. I figure if they want to give it back they will, and if not I don't want to antagonize them. Just know that the 1300 lost should never have been played with, and would not have been cashed out whether it won or not. So the investors weren't risking anything by having it gambled.
Of course investors were placed at risk by the mistake.
The gambler got to play and risk *someone elses* money - and if he'd won big, then deposited 1300 coins to act as if he'd never meant to overdraw - what would have happened?
Either you'd have had to pay him out with investors money - or refuse to pay him and risk the good will, reputation and future earning capacity of the site for not paying out a big winner.
Either way - the investors had risk.
