I know you're trying to sound smart but you really don't need 'insider info' to figure this out
I think he just worded it poorly.
As the article states, the info released by insiders is only available to the insider employees, it was information about what players were being used the most, basically everyones lineup is/was visible to these insiders.
I would akin it to entering a March Madness bracket contest, and one of the guys got to view everyone elses bracket before it started. So he could piggy back some plays from the top earners, and make strategic changes to not just tie them, but beat them.
The advantage to being able to see everyone's lineup would be HUGE.

Interestingly enough the rules supposedly specifically state one person/one team so either they DGAS about actually tracking these accounts, or they aren't trying very hard.
And if they are they weak on that kind of security, you better believe they are weak on other kinds of security, like making sure teams can't be altered after the start.
I also find it interesting they reserve the right to simply move your entry to similar game with no explanation needed.
I also wouldn't trust them to not have ringer/automated entries constantly playing to "test the site" and just happen to win back some of the money.
