https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=92716.msg1782853#msg1782853The site was overpaying people. It's a shame, and I agree, they should have noticed. Hell, if I noticed with my measly 100khs, would have thought the operator would have noticed.
I wouldn't expect them to do anything more or anything less than what they did (e.g. taking it back off everyone)
That extra money everyone received wasn't for extra mining power, it was a bug. An accident.
I don't think the operator should have to pay for the accident as no harm was done really.
