I cannot believe the portfolio returns of the announced winners! 
I sent this email to the games organizers.
"Hi,
I find this games results very unbelievably.
A portfolio 
return of over 300% with no shorting available and no individual stock 
returning near 300%. And all this return in a negative market 
environment, and performed by only a handful of funds that were 
managed by novices!? 
Please this is too much to believe and accept and that's coming from a trader with over a decade of experience.
Have
 you checked all the trades and their date and time stamps and verified 
they were not retrospective? Is your site secure enough? was it possibly
 hacked? do the winners/novices have a background it IT?
I would like
 to think you have already made these investigations but am still not 
convinced about the legitimacy of their portfolio returns.
I was 
in your top30 after several weeks of the comp but stopped playing after I
 saw the dubious returns of the handful of leaders, I thought then they 
were cheating and am not convinced they weren't.
Looks like they earned over $18,000 with their exploits!
I and my friends will not be playing your game next year unless you can convince us that the game is fair.
Regards,
Branko Krstevski."
I was trying to find out more about this "Becky" and how she won. Did you ever find out more or get a reply?
