I find it odd that a person would stash "only" a stack of diamond blocks in a single chest. That sounds like an all or nothing thing when you have that many. Which begs the question why you have such a round number. You also have to consider that 64 is an exponential factor of 2. As in if you were to take 1 diamond block, double it 7 times, you'd have exactly 64, which is the amount Kress claims to have lost. That's 576 diamonds, and diamonds make up 1.276% of the blocks, so to get that many diamonds he would need to mine a total of 45,141 blocks at diamond level, and at .3 seconds per with an average tenth of a second of lag (A generous ammount) and no expenses, that would beed 18k seconds of solid mining, or just above 5 hours. I doubt that Kress would have spent anywhere near this amount of time mining. I'm sure the mod's block logs will say the very same.
The last possibility is that he was gifted this. Now if someone is willing to give Kress 5 hours diamonds, surely this person would also be willing to spend 2 minutes to help Kress out in a situation where he can very easily be banned. The fact this person hasn't said a word yet casts his existence into question.
I think it's pretty clear he's been duping. This wouldn't be the first time he's been exploiting, but I hope that this will finally be his last.
In addition, since Kress has only recently been unbanned (A month or two I would estimate), and his former realm has been disbanded (Traveled there myself, place was looted top to bottom), it would imply that Kress would have had to of acquired these Diamonds within that timeframe.
