can somebody explain how this is a scandal?

this is nothing like insider trading. this would be like if a guy working in finance at a big firm had access to a great algorithm of the firm and used that to invest on his own, finding great success.

It's a pretty big advantage. Let's say three to four guys u know are owned around 40%. The pros have optimal lineups where they can lock players. They can now take those three or four and pair them with the optimal players for each lineup. These guys are playing a ton of entries. Over a hundred. He can also take the data of the most owned and not use them to get very different teams then all others. It's a huge advantage either way he did it.
