There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

Quote: articleThe codes directed the computer not to randomly generate numbers, but instead to use an algorithm whose results could be predicted.
Evidently the writer doesn't know that a computer can't generate random numbers and always uses an algorithm.
Like Ron Harris, though, if you know what the algorithm is you can find out what numbers will be generated. The article suggests a special code was discovered; I don't know what they are talking about there.
the next time Dame Fortune toys with your heart, your soul and your wallet, raise your glass and praise her thus: “Thanks for nothing, you cold-hearted, evil, damnable, nefarious, low-life, malicious monster from Hell!” She is, after all, stone deaf. ... Arnold Snyder

The writer is probably getting his info from a police source leak and the police certainly wouldn't know how this whole thing works.
An aside: My first defense to these accusations, if what you are saying is true, is that I couldn't possibly have manipulated random numbers from the computer because they don't make any.
