The network has only been around in its current iteration since 2012 and has been very small until recently. No, they have never tried to run anything close to this big before (besides in Dec). I think they may have did like a $250 or $300K at one point, but that's about it.
FWIW, the last time they cancelled because they were getting DDOS attacked like every other poker network had been.
I'm not very happy with how the issues were handled last Sunday, but they certainly aren't intentionally crashing the biggest tournament they've ever tried to run just to collect rake from satties. This tournament having problems does much more harm to the network than the potential $ they could make with your satty conspiracy.
