marcf999 in third position has a wrong time, the IGT of 1:36:51 is good but the Time should be 1:43:56 which is what I calculated. One second more or less depending on how precise you want to calculate.
Also, look at 48:56 in his video, was at 391m in investments and went up to 618m at 49:06, that is 10 seconds only for a total of 227m profits in 10 seconds. Only with Investment Engine level 6.
I've done 115 runs up to now, never saw that happened. That is a really big crazy boost. Even Esth, the World Record doesn't show that.
This game is extremely easy to cheat. Players like marcf999 having only two runs in the same game (the other is obsolete but still can be found in his profile) and no other runs on speedrun.com and turning off comments in his youtube video doesn't give him any notoriety.
I do not know how other games on speedrun.com that can be easily cheated handle this situation but I would like to hear anybody's opinion.
marcf999 Time is still wrong in Leaderboards
As for the Investments, I've found another player with a crazy boost very fast. At this point, I would say it's probably legit because there's a lot of randomness in Investments but still worth investigating and having a discussion about, would really love to hear other's opinion.
