It was speculated somewhere (perhaps on the FW thread, don't remember) that
coolwulf uses a method similar to using dummy credit card numbers to put in lowball bids until getting an acceptance. This works because PL doesn't charge your CC (or attempt to) until you actually get an acceptance.
I can't imagine this is legal, but I know it's against PL's own rules.
