Notice explaining the Quasar Zone prize draw situation

https://quasarzone.com/bbs/qs_notice/views/7978

This is Kim Hyun-seok, CEO of Quasar Zone.

First, we sincerely apologize for the delay in responding to this matter.

Anyway, I will tell you in detail now.

Upon first becoming aware of the situation, we immediately began investigating the matter. There clearly seemed to be a problem, and we decided a thorough investigation was necessary. This is because the probability of winning compared to the number of entries and the size of the winning prize were mathematically very unlikely and unnatural.

As a result of the investigation, we confirmed that four accounts won with an unprecedented probability compared to other accounts. Additionally, we were able to confirm that documents and materials generated during the event work process could only be interpreted as manipulation.

In addition, we reviewed the source code of the lottery machine that members raised issues with with professional developers, but no problems with the lottery algorithm or functionality were found.

We asked the person in charge for his/her position based on the content and evidence, and at first he did not acknowledge this fact. Therefore, we conducted a thorough investigation of all the remaining events we were in charge of while working as an event manager. This process took a lot of time, so entry was delayed. sorry.

As a result of the thorough investigation, no unusual findings were found regarding winning accounts other than the problematic account, and the person in charge acknowledged the fact of intentional manipulation. These are the results. The details were manipulated so that each person had no choice but to win.

The manipulation took place at the input document stage before the draw was made on the lottery machine. Various methods were used to make certain people win. As a result, we confirmed that there were a total of four accounts that took personal advantage through an unfair process, and we also confirmed that the account holder had a personal relationship with the person in charge of the event.

Deliberate manipulation like this is absolutely impossible. This should never, ever happen. It’s such a big mistake. This also means that our Quasar Zone also had a very poor inspection process and system. This is also a clear mistake of our Quasar Zone. I sincerely apologize.

We will tell you about our future response plans.

Quasar Zone considers this matter very seriously and will take all possible legal steps, including criminal and civil liability, with investigative agencies through its legal representatives. We would like to deeply apologize to our members who trusted us and to the sponsors who provided prizes.

In addition, it is natural that the person in charge of the event will be replaced, and as of now, the person in charge has resigned. For all events, we will assign a separate person in charge of the document collection and lottery process, and significantly strengthen the management inspection process. In addition, we will disclose the drawing process and details in detail when notifying members of the drawing results.

At the same time, there have been victims of fraudulent winnings. In addition to the currently suspect events, a redraw will be held for all events that have a winning history for the four accounts currently in question.

Naturally, all prizes will be fully covered by Quasar Zone, and we will make the lottery process public and transparent. We will announce the specific schedule and contents later.

We made a very big mistake in this situation. All responsibility lies with us, and we will deeply reflect on this situation.

Members, I am truly sorry. I sincerely apologize.

We tried hard to make our members happy, even if it meant paying personal expenses rather than company expenses, but in the end, we were very wrong.

To ensure that something like this never happens in the future, we will further strengthen the inspection process by adding suspicion to suspicion. I will sincerely try my best. I’m really sorry.
