Error/illegal move in MC Final

Some have accused these two of collusion. Dwek was a pretty significant favorite in the money line (w/bookmakers) and some felt that he and Genud agreed beforehand that they would bet on her and then make sure she won the match. (They would have done this through a third party so as not to raise too much suspicion.)
I really don't know if anyone has hard evidence (and I doubt it). It would pretty much take a confession. Some said Dwek's play showed evidence that he intentionally made suboptimal plays at times, but did they expect him to play perfectly?
One place you can read (just a little) about this is the Stanley Tomchin chapter of Munchkin's Gambling Wizards. But it seems that Tomchin already may have had a dislike for Dwek even before that happened (I think he calls him a "scoundrel"). So you have to take that into account.
