no I think the 'reporters' who got the list use their balance sheet as if it is actual cash or even cash deposited.

The money didnt exist, it was promised money that was deposited as whatever. Kind of like betpoints, they dont exist, they can be used to buy things but you didnt send any in. SBR gave them to you and you can do with them what you want. But if say you try and cash them in for an Ipod and SBR suddenly stops giving out things for betpoints you didnt 'lose' anything. You werent really 'stiffed'. Other than make believe stuff they gave you in the first place. You didnt send points in to them and multiply them yourself.
