That game still exists?

Back in 2005 I figured out how to log in on multiple Habbo accounts at once. I would run casino rooms using the dice and use a mob of clones to make it look like real players are winning and betting big. If an actual real player ever bet and won, I would kick them, tear down the whole room, transfer the items to new accounts, and start it up fresh. I probably had a few dozen accounts banned.




I love this story. This is basically the plot of The Sting (1973).


I don't know about Habbo but I've seen several games that look like it. Apparently some people use them as a virtual office.
