Under the terms of the creators of EOS games, community members could get 10 thousand tokens, all of which would have amounted to half of the 7 billion issue of EOS.
Outrage “EOS billionaire” was the fact that after he reported the bug on Reddit, the developers without much explanation of the reduced amount in his account to 100 thousand tokens. Means “magically disappeared”, not even leaving a record in the chronicle of activities of the user.
