Is it possible? Absolutely! In fact, it would be FAR easier for a site to implement a bot than it would a regular person - afterall - they could easily make sure the deal is skewed toward their bot.
Now, a completely, and far more relevant question and answer: Is it likely? HELL! NO! There is absolutely NO WAY that site with the reputation of PokerStars is going to do this to win an extra $2200. Nor would they do it to win an extra $22000, or ever $220000. If it ever got out that they did this - and it WOULD get out - the players would flee the site so fast the servers would crash from the sheer vacuum created.
Not everyone that loses their chat changes their address line to read 'no chat' or anything like that. My guess is that the player lost their chat privledges and simply couldn't respond - either that or he's a prick and didn't have the courtesy of even saying no when asked about the split.
There is just simply no way that a big site is going to risk a mass exodus of players over a, relatively speaking, miniscule amount of money.
