I don't quite follow... Doesn't this essentially just mean the kid spoiled the death game and turned it, essentially, into a game where he gives everyone 100M out of his own pocket?
He only gets 100M per person, but has to pay 200M for each. They then have to pay half to clear their debt.
If he'd gotten trapped in it by accident, it'd be a clever way to 'buy' his own safety, but I don't know if I misunderstood some rule.
