Fixed. I suck at numbers. :P (or rather, fixed, but the server is getting hammered enough that it won't let me flush the cache)

There was another screenshot which has an account balance in the trillions that Blizzard argued was fabricated. Given the ease in which this trick was performed, I wouldn't be surprised if it was authentic.

If Blizzard says it's fabricated they're probably right. They're certainly in a position to know and have no motive to lie.

Probably. I'm not a huge fan of Blizzard's business model and design choices as of late, but I do trust that they would not straight-faced lie versus fakeable screenshots. They know their back-end.
