Wow, sorry then. I made a quick search here and couldn't find anything.
Also, the articles above are from end of June/July although they indeed mention the things going on since 2014.

Never mind then.

If you check out my vids in that thread linked above you can see hufflepuff in live action, i watched the whole thing go down over a couple days. Was pretty insane, the whole dice site just stopped waiting to see what he was going to do.

Hi,

I have just found this online, see sources below.

In August 2014, the third version of Primedice was released and shortly after its launch the team identified unusual patterns from two of its members/players. One of the players won bets while the other cashed out automatically.

However, the team couldn’t detect any wrongdoing.

After almost a month a delayed cashout occurred and the winning player made a new account from which the largest bets in the history of Primedice were made. Hufflepuff, the bettor, was betting more than $8,000 in bitcoin per second for hours.

Thought this might be worth sharing here. Although the news appeared a few days ago and today, information tells that things have been going for a while now.
