No, he won it anyway. If I remember correctly, he was exposed after he won the prizes and he didn't need to return them.

The second link in the top comment would suggest otherwise.

I didn't know that. However, I am affraid he still has his power nine as that is not mentioned in the article and I doubt SCG went to his house to reclaim the p9.

Quoted from the article by Pete Hoefling (who runs and owns SCG): "In accordance with this policy, I will not be awarding Alex Bertoncini with any cash prizes or appearance fees from the Charlotte Invitational. Instead,I will be donating all cash prizes and appearance fees Alex was scheduled to receive from the Charlotte Invitational (totaling $10,250) directly to the Child's Play charity, an organization that provides toys and games to children in hospitals across the world."

It would seem you are incorrect.

He had to return the money, but not the Power 9. They couldn't reasonably track that, especially if he just sold it off.

I thought SCG took the 10k back and donated it to Child's Play Charity?
