I didn't received my ranked rewards

I got to plat 1 entirely legit before i was aware this exploit even existed I'm from Australia and our ranked servers don't work at all cannot find a game ever I was in a game with 2 Americans we landed at sorting and it didn't go too well I asked them what's the exploit they said you have to be American to do it. Anyway they invited me after and we played a few good games and they got me to diamond 4. After that I went anddone some research to see how to do it and I found a guy on PlayStation making a video from SEASON 1 yes I will admit I done the exploit and ill admit on every other apex players behalf that 90% of people have done it the entire time however a friend of mine has gotten all his rewards he is ten x less the player I am I won the majority from diamond to pred now I've spent bear 2k if not just over on apex I got nearly all gold items I love this game very much but if this is the case and I'm getting punished for something everyone has done since day dot I'll be done! I'm not fussed with the money spent because I had a good time yeah it's unfortunate if this is the case and I think they'll lose a lot of players. All good tho unfortunate but all good. More time for work and more time for story games when I sit down to play now. Also I got a platinum trinket and badge for my reward and it says my last season rank was plat 4 when as I said I was completely legitimate all the way to play 1 and was gold 1 series 1 (almost plat 4) but didn't know to switch to American servers back then to try for plat cos Australian servers went completely dead.
