I can tell you he said Poloniex stole 150k Monero from him.

Just like that? Poloniex has been around for a long time, how did it come to be that they allegedly stole that much money from him?

this maybe (not much info but i do remember something along these lines when it went down).

It seems like he was scamming. I doubt Poloniex had anything to do with it other than being a scapegoat.

The Crypto-Kingdom game founded and run by rpietila (forum profile link) started as a legitimate fantasy role playing game with a rich economic model and an in-game currency fully-backed by real crypto (XMR).

However, it was recently turned into a fraudulent fractional reserve scam when rpietila decided to create in-game tokens for himself without depositing, and further being unwilling or unable to pay the resulting debts incurred by the game and himself.
