Turkish Trader Turns $10k into $326,903,583 in 30 days; Raises $250 for Charity
In a flourish of financial wizardry not seen since dot-com-bubble-one-dot-oh, Turkish trader indigodergisi turned $10,000 (of play money) into a cool $327M in just 30 days, and in doing so raised $250 (of real money) for his charity of choice, UNICEF, playing the free online website trading game, urladex.
Per the suggestion of the urladex community, Season XIII was a short affair, and in place of the customary T-shirts for the top 10 finishers of the season, $250 was donated to the winner’s charity of choice. Indigodergisi (his personal site: indigodergisi.com) bought and sold his way to victory, fending off fierce competition from Ireland’s ninjabien, Thailand’s patrickbkk, and France’s LeP3, and thousands of other competitors from around the world.
Thanks for playing everyone!

Well done Indigodergisi and well done to urladex for taking this initiative - it added an extra twist to an already great game :)
Keep it up Casegame and let’s see if we can have more seasons like that one!
