It's most definitely a possibility.
Sure it's possible - but no more likely than a theft via algorithm hacking, and impossible to prove in any case. Small claims court is going to ask for more than "I bought it from her and 8 months later it didn't work (but it would have worked the day I received it)". The fact I'm pointing out is, she delivered what she sold: a gift card with a balance. Did she then steal the balance somehow? Not a clue. I am disallowing nothing; I am commenting on the likelihood of Kalboz recouping anything from the seller via USPS or Small Claims court, which is pretty much zero. I am also saying that, in my opinion, Hyatt is the culpable party in every instance where the algorithm got hacked - which is the case for almost all of the eGift cards and most of the physical cards.
