They (Robby and Sagbigsal) also followed each other on twitter prior to the events. And when Zvi says “involved in production,” it means that Sagbigsal was often the sole person in the supposedly secure production room where hole cards are shown on computer screens.
Before this came out, everyone involved was going on and on about how unlikely it is that the production team is involved based on the integrity and business acumen of the stream owners and how this makes cheating so much less likely because you need someone on the inside in production. Even just seeing Sagbigsal steal from anyone at the table would drastically increase the prior that cheating happened, because it proves criminal intent on the part of someone who could easily be part of a team of cheaters. Him stealing from Robbi in particular during a moment when there’s extra attention on the stream could indicate, on the alleged theory that they are cheating, that he was worried about not getting his cut.
Lastly, Robbi later shared a private message from someone she claimed to be Sagbigsal, but that message seemed suspiciously like she wrote it herself (possibly with Sagbigsal still being the sender, but she could’ve drafted it for him). It mentions the phrase “wouldn’t not,” which Robbi did too on her own twitter, and it has an elipsis with “space, dot dot dot, space” (so “word … word”) – also something we see on Robbi’s twitter, but rarely in other places.
What is it? (Or: how could Sagbigsal be involved in cheating?)
