[Update: Cloud Imperium spokesperson Dave Swofford tells Ars that "a lot of the information was fabricated" in the Reddit post discussed the below. Swofford says the account in question was issued an individual refund of $330, not the $45,000 claimed in posted screenshots and videos which Swofford says do not reflect actual complaints requests logged by the company. What's more, Swofford says the refund was handled "in a timely fashion" with "no extended debate over whether we should."

Seems the guy who made up this stuff deleted his reddit account as soon as CIG addressed the issue, if he had any proof to counter CIG he certainly didn't want to hang around to share it.

here's some more info, apparently posted by the guy who claimed the $45k refund he posted it via Discord:
"Hi I'm [$45k guy]*, I was sent here by a contact on Discord before my Reddit account was deleted. I'm the $45k refund guy and can provide any evidence if necessary. I don't know, I was getting hundreds of messages every hour, it was crazy. I was replying to a reporter from Kotaku and wiritng a long message, then I went to press "send" and Reddit gave me an error. I then refreshed my page and I was logged out. I try to log back n but it says the username and password don't exist. I just checked a few of the news sites I was replying to now, and they are saying the refund was only for $330, but that's not true. $330 is my personal account, not the shared org account. To be clear I did refund $330 too"
When you have cake, it is not the cake that creates the most magnificent of experiences, but it is the emotions attached to it. The cake is a lie.
I don't know that I believe that, it's very convenient and feeds too much into the conspiracy nonsense. I don't know much about reddit but I thought sub mods can only ban accounts, global mods would be the ones able to delete an account and it seems very odd that they would do so minutes after CIG's rebuttal.
Without further proof my opinion is that this guy was just playing everyone along.
