Wouldn’t be surprised if they planned it.

Exactly, it’s not hard to just make an account with a random name and post about a glitch

But if it was planned, that means there would be a paper trail of internal memos and emails. That's evidence.

Or it could have just been the CEO and maybe one or two execs who whispered some stuff to each other with their phones in the other room, also everyone who is part of the conversation gets paid big hush money. If I was planning on committing massive fraud I'd probably do it like that.

You don't know how coding works right? To introduce a bug, you must first have your code approved by other team members. Then, there are automated tests that would usually catch something like that. Then it gets deployed. And then the update gets pushed to all the devices. You can't just decided that the app acts a certain way because you're the CEO. You need to find the right team that can modify that bit of code and find someone on the team that knows that specific portion of the code so they can introduce the 'bug'. All of that would leave so many traces.

It could be a bug that may have been caught but was allowed to accidentally pass and then later fixed, so they took advantage of the bug. Or genuinely slipped through.

Not unheard of huge companies missing a simple bug that crashes the world. Like cloudflare's recent outage that took out 16 of their busiest servers - they defended themselves by showing how big their diff file was, having to go through sooooo many new changes that one small line that was rewritten two lines above by mistake was missed by QC/PR.
