He probably lived a bit too large out in Costa Rica (it's easy to imagine from the guy's picture), and now is in need of money. Being one of AP's founders, he had access to the superuser account, which he realized had not been disabled yet. Thus, his money problems could easily become a thing of the past in a few short weeks.

This answers why a supposedly filthy-rich AP CEO would perpetrate a scam for ~1 million dollars. It's because he probably isn't the AP CEO anymore, and he's no longer filthy rich.

Even though this is mostly conjecture, I like it a lot. Perhaps when the real details come out (if ever), it will somewhat resemble this theory. Sounds a lot more plausible than the current CEO actually being a blatant cheater. I would be surprised if new information doesn't come out that dramatically changes everyone's perception.

It will still be blatant cheating, imo, but the who/why/how is far from being determined.
