I have no idea why people are still arguing with Riigged over the loss of money. He clearly doesnt understand even the most childishly explained version of economics (using twigs in place of money, which he brought up first lol). So there is literally 0 reason to continue debating him on it. Its obvious to literally everyone else but him.
Ever heard the saying (im adapting it to this situation): If 1 person tells you that you are wrong, you might still be right and they are wrong...but if 10 people tell you that you are wrong then you are a fucking idiot and clearly wrong.

http://www.mpgh.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1095281) there is a site/payment gateway that allows fake cards to be used before they are verified (which is the same basic idea as a stolen card, but less risk obviously).
Reason 1) Using a stolen card doesnt exploit any error in the code. Thats why deca hasnt been able to stop it, there is nothing to "patch" when a stolen card is used since the card is a valid and usable card.
Reason 2) Stolen cards explains why some gold accounts were banned with the reason of "chargeback". If you opened you credit statement and saw a random charge for $20-100 that you have no idea about you would probably do a chargeback too. Or the card gets reported stolen and the credit card company issues a chargeback automatically. This is why some accounts would get banned quickly and others wouldnt get banned at all (some people dont notice a stolen card for awhile because they are idiots about watching their fiances).
Now where there gold exploits in the past that didnt involve stolen cards? Probably. Infact its a good explanation why catchme's selling thread use to brag about "no accounts have been banned blahblahblah". He probably milked that exploit for all it had until deca patched it. But the latest wave of gold accounts are more then likely obtained using stolen cards or using a method with the same concept like the post i linked.
