Well, interesting to see this further reported on another website, but really no new information. Most who have any idea who Ricdic is at this point followed enough to know he sold the ISK to raise money to assist with RL economic issues. At least this one wasn't fluffed with a bunch of inaccurate numbers and craptastic exageration from some dimwit trying to make a bigger story out of it.
As a side note, these forums blow (this is my 3rd attempt to post this not so big comment). ---------------------- Dzil's Corp Sales - 200m for 7+ standings ---------------------- |

Actually Reuters is now Thomson Reuters, which to any of you who have went to an institute of higher learning, produces a good number of the overpriced College Text Books, search engines (WestLaw) and pre/post grad school training classes. Snide comment aside, it has nothing to do with any other news organizations besides providing pool reporting. Now, if you want to think of a conspiracy, half of the initial private offering that created CCP came from OZ Communications, a Canadian Telecom company. That company was purchased by Nokia a few years ago, and Nokia and Thomson are partners in creating a whole bunch of Cell phone technologies....

I'd rather see an article about the aftermath of the embezzlement, which has turned out rather positively so far. The "human story" is interesting in that it humanizes Ricdic so people can empathize with him, but it's not really news worthy (in my opinion) that someone had economic difficulties and they took money from someone in a way that wasn't illegal. Pointing out that people trust EBANK to manage over $50,000 worth of ingame currency is interesting as well as how they were able to guard against someone getting all of it rather than just 10%. -- Knowledge is Power! |

Plain and simple, it is way too easy to generate ISK in this game. Because ISK is so easy to earn is the reason that some players simply couldn't care less if an ingame bank goes bust, or is scammed, or whatever.
"It's only 200 billion" says it all, because 200 big ones has no real meaning anymore in a game where chaining for rats in 0.0, blitzing Level 4 missions or <insert fave "cash cow" here> is the sweet sound of "ka-ching".
Guaranteed if 0.0 rat spawns were dropped back to around 50% of current spawn rates (yeah, some of you remember) and level 4's and 5's had most of the low end loot ripped out of them --- then alot of players would be singing a whole different tune when their ISK gets scammed by an ingame bank and, no ****e, it would be anything but "positive".

TBH - its hard to stay mad at a guy for scamming in game to help his RL.
When your desperate - theres nothing you wont do.
At least he didnt scam to buy more internet spaceships.
That being said - scam is part of EVE. Every player has a price - for Ricdic it was 200bil...

RicExcuseBot v0.57(alpha): Sorry insertendlessly(I didn't want to steal||child is sick||collectors calling) Again, don't buy the hype. IMNSHO Ric didn't scam or embezzle. However what he is guilty of no one at eBank will say as it is in their best interest to pretend things are as everyone believes they are. Furthermore, in Hexxx's words, no press is bad press.

Yes... I also forgot to mention that I absolutely hate idiocy. And yes, I'm implying that the readers here, the readers at those various journalistic publications (and I use journalist loosely, and alot of those directly involved are idiots. Idiots for believing the fraud perpetrated. Idiots for not fact checking thus perpetrating a furtherance of the fraud. Idiots for knowingly encouraging and abetting the fraud before us. Right now I suspect Ric is sitting in his parent's basement wondering if he'll find the right woman and possibly some day have children. Oh and laughing at all you suckers. Before someone points to me about how Ric is not smart enough to fool you... Nixon wasn't all that smart either though he was clever enough to keep a few balls in the air at the same time. But it all came crashing down on him and then, only then, did reality get a good airing. Literally, it is quite the same situation here. Though there is one difference, when Nixon was put out so was his lackeys. Here, we've kept them around and made them celebrities along with that asshat. So I reiterate, stop buying the hype. Next up, don't drink the kool aid.

LOL. Are you really saying that Ricdic spent years of his life playing spaceships, lying at every stage to people he spoke to every day, so that he could steal [OMG SO MUCH MONEY] 200b??? In the classic words of Del-boy, "You really are a pl0nker!!"

That's exactly what I'm saying did not happen. Of course, only a buffoon forgets GHSC. In this game, a year plus of lies and deciet is well within the capabilities of this community. However I again reiterate, I'm not saying Ric lied all the time. But you people are falling for the current batch of lies. And thank you, plonker is one of the nicest and kindest flames that someone has given me in a long time. What kind of flame should I respond with? I just want to properly satisfy your inner child.

Oh, and it appears that someone actually interviewed CCP and Ricdic for the Reuters article. That's a refreshing change.
The fact that the story made Reuters isn't that big of a deal. I remember a traffic accident in Salinas, CA (home town) between a 18-wheeler truck and a bus carrying farm workers that was reported on Reuters as well.
Took me a hour or more to figure out what they meant by an "articulated lorry". -----------------------------------------------

In real life, if you rob a bank to pay medical bill and a down payment on a house and you get thrown in jail as a common criminal.. Make sure you don't blend "What you would do with funny money." and "What is right and wrong."
Am I sad for the guys real life issues, sure, it's a heart breaking story, if it's real. Do I approve of the actions he took? Not at all. Stealing is stealing, no matter which way you look at it. We all talk about a threshold of when temptation overthrows common sense. But this is a different case.
CCP may look the other way while someone runs off with your entire wallet and assets, that wasn't all that happened here. He willfully stole, broke rules in which he agreed he would never break, regardless of how sad a story is to why he did it, he still did it.

Perhaps Mr. Hawkblade should contact these journalistic venues and right these supposed wrong. If Ricdic is indeed lying, perhaps he can present some proof and change the story to reflect the new information, as he has personal experience with the man while on the EBANK staff.

Haha you truly are special. Not quite special enough to justify your ridiculously over-sized ego but special nonetheless. I've been there done it thanks very much, spent my years in EVE wanting to rule the universe, ruled some small parts of it from time to time, and got bored. I guess you've still got a way to go, though I'm sure your self-delusions tell you otherwise.
If I wanted attention from the "big people" of whom you speak hmmm, what could I do... I know maybe I could stick my nose into every topic in which I feel I can flex my vocabulary, because THAT would make me feel really clever.

Your hypocrisy knows no bounds. But I'm sure you won't have a clue what I mean by that...
EDIT: In all seriousness, I think you'll find that most people here - even the "little people" that you seem to love talking down to - realise that Ricdic's excuses of RL issues could be truth or lie. It's a game, everything is faceless, and things are rarely what they seem. The fact is, it doesn't matter, most people don't care.

More concerning perhaps, is that in spite of it being illegitimate, it's not really punished.

yeah, that's why no one held anything against the EIB guy... i mean, after all, he was in a car accident and laid up in the hospital for weeks on end... seriously, we can't hold that against the guy in the hospital. amirite?
rl certainly takes precedence over a game. that's why everyone was so understanding with the EIB fiasco.

Quite interesting how that works isn't it
What does he have to lose by lieing about it?? Banned from Eve?? Thats already happened. Goes to jail?? Not even a possibility. Has a lot of internet people mad at him?? Pretty sure thats happened.
There is already a ballpark number of how much money he made so the only really bad thing that can happen is they come after him for taxes.

Now, now, if you get this defensive it really means that you've realized just how wrong you are. This is not an English lesson, I won't give you marks for the quality of your expression, the idea counts, that's all. Don't be a poor troll. Don't make me invoke the age argument. I haven't touched your cookies, I've just said that you should stop. being. so. like. him.
PLEASE do this! I love it soooo much when people on the internetz start bragging about how they're so much older and more mature than others! It's SOOO relevant and awesome!
You're my new hero.
A common mistake. Age and maturity aren't always correlated.

"It's only 200 billion" says it all, because 200 big ones has no real meaning anymore in a game where chaining for rats in 0.0, blitzing Level 4 missions or <insert fave "cash cow" here> is the sweet sound of "ka-ching".
Those are two of the worst ways to get rich in the game IMO. The people with hundreds of billions to throw around did not get there by doing L4 missions or by ratting in 0.0.

I wasn't going to do it, ricdic gave an interview, someone posted a link, HawkBlade nearly pops a vein then tries to wave his e-peen around while trolling. He could be 60 in real life, he still acted like a kid. How terrible is it when you resemble someone you despise so much, right HawkBlade?

Originally by: HawkBlade I'm not saying Ric lied all the time. But you people are falling for the current batch of lies.
Why yes, an interview with him telling his side of the story equals a bunch of lies.
does it? do you have tea with this richard fellow and have known him irl for years, and are YOU stating this and that everything he attests is true?
cuz, unless you live down the road from the guy, then, it's pretty ****ing stupid to assume anything a thief says is true.
and it's pretty ****ing stupid to think that everything he said is a lie.
Quite interesting how that works isn't it
What does he have to lose by lieing about it?? Banned from Eve?? Thats already happened. Goes to jail?? Not even a possibility. Has a lot of internet people mad at him?? Pretty sure thats happened.
There is already a ballpark number of how much money he made so the only really bad thing that can happen is they come after him for taxes.
remember eib? what happened when ole boy put up his little video speech?
now, compare that to "oh, i had rl problems and REALLY needed to do it to save my family".
which one would stupid ****s go, "oh, i understand, come on back and i'll even spot you some iskies to get you going again. all is forgiven."
but, whatever, stupid ****s sit there and believe lies all the time, amirite breaker77?

Edited by: cosmoray on 04/07/2009 05:05:02 Doesn't everyone realise that this initial drama has turned into absolutely fantastic advertising for CCP.
This act has pushed Eve into magazines, mainstream media and news services.
Great publicity!!!!
The more people that know that there is an MMO with minimal rules and you create your universe, thats great.
I wonder if the number of new sign ups increase on a monthly basis after all this publicity?
edit: as of this morning this has become a truly mainstream story (just google Ricdic and theft for proof). Lots of global media and tons of internet and game publications are carrying it.

Hey cosmoray, perhaps you can be so kind as to shed a little light on an issue I'm having. I've read through a couple of the articles listed on the more popular media news sources, but upon coming to the Md forums - which is basically ground zero for this whole thing - many call into question the validity of the facts found in these articles. Sorry I don't have any specifics for you, but which article in particular would you say is the most accurate take on what happened?
Thanks :)

The Ricdic character is online, so it seems the news of his ban was greatly exaggerated.

Not sure, but that is also not important. The fact is that a lot of media outlets are carrying the story originally from Reuters.

I'd rather be an idiot and believe the story when the individuals flinging the insults around present no evidence to support the contrary.

For what it's worth, the "story" of "Richard" was on the BBC on Friday.
No interviews with relevant parties, no new information. Just alot of "stock" video footage of paper money being printed and the voice of a genuinely disinterested presenter.
I guess once you've seen the likes of Bernie Madoff getting hung out to dry over the course of months of broadcast time, some guy in Oz just looking to pay his bills is only worth 20 seconds.
Welcome to reality.
