+1, easy to see what happened here is wrong, and regardless of whether or not you benefit that is pretty clear and should be easy to acknowledge. If I was given 20k in equity at the expense of someone else in a similar situation, not only would I hesitate to take it and play the tournament, at the very least I would acknowledge the ridiculousness of it instead of seemingly defending it. That being said I don't expect others to hold themselves to those same moral principles, and I think taking the seat is somewhat fine, that being said at least recognize you are the beneficiary of something outrageously unjust.
