            $userdata->set_existing($vbulletin->userinfo);
            $userdata->set($moneyrow,($vbulletin->userinfo[$moneyrow] + $total_offer));

PHP Code:

            $userdata =& datamanager_init('user', $vbulletin, ERRTYPE_STANDARD);
            $userdata->set_existing($vbulletin->userinfo);
            $userdata->set($moneyrow,($vbulletin->userinfo[$moneyrow] - $totalcost_fc));
            $userdata->save(); 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

$db->query("update " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user set {$vbulletin->options['vbst_moneyrow']}={$vbulletin->options['vbst_moneyrow']}-'{$totalcost_fc}' where userid='{$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']}'");

a member discovered a major bug.

Try purchasing some stocks and for amount of shares put in -500 (negative). That will increase your points amount. In one case, the guy who had 2900 points ended with 10 billions!!!!!!

was that the only change?

PHP Code:

  if ($shares < 1){
     eval(standard_error(fetch_error('invalid_shares')));
  }
