Just for kicks I calculated how many Gems it would take to speed up that timeframe.
886 days - 150 days(roughly KA out for 5 months) = 736 days *240 (cost in gems to speed up 24hrs) = 176,640 gems needed or 118 Mountains of Gems = $11,800 + tax.
201 million in gold to hit Max IPH. Mtns of Gold were paltry in the beginning, plentiful towards the end + normal building collections/raids/attks so I'll just go in the middle and assume 3 million per Mountain. (max IPH nets you 6 mill a Mtn but is there really a point in buying gold at that point?? lol )
201 million / 3 mill = 67 Mountains of Gold = $6,700 + tax.
If he's 100% legit, it's safe to say he's thrown at least $20,000 into KA. Lucky guy. =)
