That's the thing. They scanned EVERY possible seed, and the run in question didn't match ANY of them.

They also found that a key item found in an optimal location was only possible in a version of the game that didn't match what they claimed to be running.

They also noticed that the lvl 12 sorc was dealing damage as if he was level 20 something.

The group investigating just wanted to see how they would stack up if they could recreate the original streamers perfect luck, and they couldn't even do that. It really seems like the run was faked.
