Damn. That seems excessive. Then again, online cheaters are vermin.

Sounds like it was because of they were selling cheating software (and maybe versions of the game that allowed cheating?)

So the amount might be related to how much they made from doing that

They way it reads is that they were actually playing and circumventing bans, possibly selling accounts too maybe. They were streaming their exploits on Twitch too.
