I find billions of duped plat pretty tough to believe.
Just as an observer who's been on the server for nearly its entire life and has been active in the tunnel that entire time I haven't seen the dramatic swings which would be caused by billions of plat entering the economy. We don't see items sold for over a million basically ever, and prices aren't too far off what I remember from live during about Luclin era, pre-bazaar.
I don't know, though. I'm just a dude who has played the tunnel to the tune of 100k while never leveling a character past 40. I admit I don't have the same insider knowledge of a dude who was evidently forced off the server against his will and seems kinda bitter about it, but anecdotaly I just don't see that rampant a problem.
It's a two-way street, in any event. Perhaps there are billions of duped plats, but that just means you're better off farming items to sell than farming vendor drops. I mean, inflation only really hurts if you remain solely a consumer, forever.
