They sold the plat for real money.

Which dupe are we talking about, exactly? I've been playing since July 2010; the only dupe that widespread that I remember was the corpse duping that got rolled back. Anything that occurred further back than a year ago should have been normalized by normal economic activity unless it were large enough to sink the entire economy. Since the economy never sunk, I can only assume that somewhere the total plat amount was corrected.
