Occam's Razor: "Assume the simplist explanation" (that's not exactly
how he said it, but it will do)

The chance of them finding a bug that allows them to gain enormous
amount of both gold and recruits is rather slim.  The chance of the
getting lots of family gold and aid from other realms is pretty high -
you don't found a new realm without some way of making it work.

I think you're just paranoid.
