Player Managed to Claim Ownership Of My Group

A player, the original owner was able to reclaim ownership of my Roblox group even though they had already transferred ownership to me earlier. After the transfer, I was the official owner of the group and had full permissions. However, without any additional actions or permissions from me, the former owner somehow managed to take back ownership of the group.

This appears to be a serious issue with group ownership permissions or a backend validation. I did not grant the transfer and I am afraid that the user probably spent most of the robuxs I have made while having the group under my ownership.

Step to reproduce:

  1. Original owner made the group.
  2. Transfers the group ownership to me (making me the full owner)
  3. At a later time, the original owner is able to regain ownership without me transferring back

Expected behavior

Once the group ownership has been transferred to me, I should remain the sole owner unless I manually choose to transfer to someone else. No other user, including the previous owner should be able to reclaim ownership without my explicit actions. All ownership permissions and controls should remain fully locked to the current owner.

I understand once a group transfer is granted it cant be reversed. But this defeats this purpose, as the player transferred the group to me. After a month of owning it, something happened and Roblox reversed the ownership, which relates to this the player doing some method behind the scenes to try get back the group.
