Can't blame ARS cuz they've always been above board and one of the most trusted names in the industry. Can't blame the webmaster, if they're skilled enough to convert at 1:200 one week using the same materials, it's not their fault when ratio tanks to 0:100000 the next.
Every large sponsor should definitely hire a security expert to monitor, prevent, and catch skimming cheaters.

for stats to do that it means 100% of people on the net jsut got infected with a trojan in a week, right.... shaving on the other hand makes a lot more sense
