We've allowed Frost Bets over 72 hours' time to follow up and provide more information. He hasn't, so we'll conclude the case with the information we have.
Nex was entrusted by partners/customers to create and maintain a Discord bot with gambling functionality. Nex intentionally backdoored said Discord bot with the intention of exploiting the backdoor on alt accounts to win money without his partners knowing. Nex scammed at least $1900 USD and 5 Billion OSRS GP, potentially up to 25 Billion OSRS GP (by his own admission). The amount scammed is potentially significantly more due to the nature of how hard it is to track the full amount taken; only one alt account was confirmed to belong to Nex. This is without taking into account the damages caused to the business from the reputation hit when it becomes known that one of its shareholders and developers rigged outcomes in his own favor.

This goes beyond a regular scam, in which the victim immediately knows they've been conned when the other person refuses to honor their part of the deal (I.E., you paid and the other person ran off with your money). This is a scam, in which if it was not exposed by chance and negligence, would have gone on undetected and the scammer would have successfully scammed at least the monetary value of $5000+ and easily potentially tens of thousands without anyone knowing, without any repercussion. Nex made an attempt to repay for the scam, only after being caught and confronted with evidence.
The nature of his repayment has not been made clear to us; the only confirmation is that he repaid at least $1200. It would be highly difficult to repay in full the extent of the damages and amounts taken with a scam like this, and even if we were to assume that Nex made an earnest attempt to repay in full, it is highly improbable that the full extent of the damages were compensated. Leaning towards leniency, we offer Nex the benefit of the doubt and assume he made some attempt to repay in full for the amount he scammed.

It is important to note the highly insidious nature of the scam and the massive sum stolen (which would put even scam-quits to shame). It would be too lucrative to commit scams of this nature and to be able to get away with it by making attempts to repay only when caught; this behavior should absolutely be discouraged

After much consideration, we've come to the following decision. Nex will keep "Trade with Caution" and we'd discourage any user from conducting any trade or business with him; any user trading him would be doing so at their own risk. Nex will not be allowed to sell any scripts (private or SDN) or coding solutions via the DreamBot forum or community. Although SDN scripts are highly vetted by the DreamBot team and can be trusted to be safe and secure, the DreamBot team has decided that Nex should not be able to sell any products on the SDN going forward; Nex' scripter privileges will be removed. For this decision, we have also taken into slight consideration the numerous, largely unresolved complaints from users on Nex' scripts.

We let scripts disable our break handler entirely, add their own, or just temporarily block one of our breaks from starting to allow them to move somewhere safe (or just wait until somewhere safer).
I'm not sure what you mean by the second part though, do you have a script running when that happens?

nice release
