The "Ghost" extra chips in the WSOP ME

Yes, I think that's clear.

But the current explanation is that lots of stacks were blinded off in the day 1 fiascos, and that those people were later given full stacks to play with, pumping $10k into the poker economy each time this happened. What say you about that?

About that I say "then why did 1.7M of the extra 2.2M chips appear between 27 and 9 players left?"

And it didn't pump anything into the poker economy since Harrah's did not add that money to the prize pool. It simply diluted the equity of everyone not fortunate enough to be seated at a table with an extra stack.
