The video is by Hans Van Eghen saying how he finds the results extremely encouraging and how the results are STUNNING. The Black Swan is an UNDERMINING group that he mentions. Does this involve Dan Bronson? The cheats, perhaps?! This seems like an obvious answer - the clues to the cheats were in the hacked emails.
I'd also like to note that various bits of "white noise" come up during the video. We need caps, because I bet it has significance.

After my first go I was put into the group ANTAEUS.
Antaeus in Greek and Berber mythology was a giant of Libya, the son of Poseidon and Gaia, and his wife was Tinjis. He was extremely strong as long as he remained in contact with the ground (his mother earth), but once lifted into the air he became as weak as water
Thank you Wiki

I'm in the encelados group now - got 100 (Could only get 60 after many tries - so I got 100 using the left click, right click, right click in the border trick.) |

OK, so I watched the video. There are a bunch of interference points. I've screen captured all I could find and I've put them into an animated gif in order of appearance. Of interest is a series of numbers and letters on some of them, as well as a black swan shape.  Characters I see in order: swan shapes, then 40 60 B P M |

I enjoyed the cheat on this one, after several legit attempts, of course. I could never get the first test's cheat to work...

Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking? "Don't listen to any of the Black Swan's insight's" -- maybe the black swan is hacking the system to give us those cheats, eh?
"The results are stunning" - because the black swan is skewing the results due to the cheating.

Makes sense, blop.
Also, I'm in Tityos and I used the "lento" cheat.
Oh, and great GIF JLSK! Thanks for that =D
