Yea I fear thats what happened with the maufacturing tool. The cruisers are now hoplessly wrong but on the bright side at least I'm using the old grey matter a bit more :ugh: |

1) The petition had been escalated to me which is the highest point possible of escalation 2) The isk was taken because it was made illegally 3) We don't discuss information about why other people have been banned with anyone but the people in question
I know this because in some cases I said it to him directly and in others it was part of a petition reply. As I stated the outrage about a lack of information is completely fabricated as all of the above information was given and that's absolutely all that should have been given.
Agreed that is all that should have been said. Like I said, it all ends up as your word vs. his at this point.

There's that "fabrication" word again. I get it, so Kelduum is lying. But wait, are you saying that this was designed to hurt and cause harm to CCP?

Whew. Late to the party.
I just have one observation.
I find it ironic but not surprising that the first reply in the linked forum thread is a call for legal action.
I also find that it seems that people really have no clue what it entails. Do you really have the $25,000.00 USD on hand just to get an action started? Is the final high six figure cost worth the wee bit of virtual currency you'd most likely never recover?
It always astounds me how fast an American (mostly) will jump on the least thing and shout "SUE THE BASTARD!!!", without a clue as to what it actually means.
Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass! |

You mention it's an error. But if John don't sell all assets, will CCP still confiscate all his assets and ISK just because he got 14 days ban? |

The thing is, backing a corpmate, even if guilty, is something I could understand, but the pettiness of fighting and making unfounded accusations only driven by greed for dirty isk, is just too much for a corporation that makes a living off of portraying a benevolence to the greater Eve community.
No one should donate to Eve Uni until there is a leadership purge.
I'm actually considering blogging about this for my mere 85 unique visitors. I've been lazy (and not actually logging on) since mid December & they deserve better than that. Apparently booking your flight & accomodation to Iceland BEFORE you buy the tickets for the convention which is pretty much the only reason you wanted to go there in the first place is popular. |

i dont get all the confusion and rage towards ccp here. a botter got banned, ccp made a mistake by not taking isk immediately which was rectified a few weeks later. story should end here.
Give the guys a break. i mean.. they may be Icelandic, but they still technically human(ish) and **** happens. People make mistakes!!!! Just be glad that this is visable proof that botters are being hunted down and killed(biomassed) :D next stop russia! |

To the people who think that ccp owes EVE-Uni some kind of special access "because they had the 300 bil", what world do you live in.
IRL I've had situations where I've had to confiscate stolen property from someone who "bought" it. They all said the same thing: "who is gonna give me my money back" to which I answer "well you could try to sue the offender civilly, or apply to the state victims assistance plan" (I tell them the last part to make the feel better, victim assistance usually only pays out to victims of violent or domestic violence crimes).
Sometimes, things are just tough, and "receiving stolen goods" ius a real life crime in my places. Sorry, it might not be your fault, you might not know the stuff was stolen, them's the breaks.
In this case, all CCP had to do was say "this isk is from botting, sorry". Since they did that, case closed.
--
Another way this case matches my own IRL experiences is in the reactions of uninvolved people and how they blame the wrong party. When something like this happens IRL , people focus on the police response, totally forgetting that one criminal and his poor decisions set the whole thing in motion.
"John" decided to bot (did he petition to see if the programs he used were ok with ccp BEFORE using them?). "John" got caught. "John" decided to give ill-gotten gains to a 3rd party. Conclusion of some brilliant people in this thread? CCP is at fault, and "john" and eve-uni are somehow innocent victims.
That's just dumb. "John" is the only person responsible for any of this. |

I don't know whats more incredible; that I read the whole thread, or that the only thing to comment on is that CCP Sreegs has excellent BBCode editing skills.
Thank you for your good work CCP. Eve is a great place to hang out and spend some time.
This is a youtube playlist going over my first 30 ship losses. Video sucks but the audio came out well.There are some good lessons, and if you know the game there's some funny stories. |

My posts centered around three issues
(1) CCP IA being part of the security team rather than standing outside the company's regular hierarchies. As I pointed out before it is standard to have Internal Investigations report directly to the board of directors, CCP having their IA team report to some middle management dude is highly unusual and highlights the weak position of CCP IA. CCP Sreegs chose to address this point with ridicule implying that employees at other companies (who follow best practices) are "unemployable" and not trustworthy.
Having worked in internal investigations for over a decade at very large companies I can inform you from experience that this statement is patently false in common practice. I've actually never even heard of this scenario, though I agree with its spirit.
1- IA Is almost always under the president, not the board of directors. Anyone with the basic understanding of corporate structure would know this.
2 - Where CCP puts their IA doesn't really matter as long as the IA is working as intended, which in this case it is. CCP could, and probably does, put IA under the HR department because it directly related to employees and their relation to the company.
3 - CCP Sreegs is not in a position to move the IA anywhere based on the advice from someone from the internets. He is also probably annoyed that this is even an issue. Botters and non-PLEX RMT get their money taken. That's been their policy for forever.
4 - If E-UNI is afraid all of their money is going to be taken away because they're taking donations from suspected, or even provable botters / RMT traders, perhaps it would be in the best interest of E-UNI to audit their donor lists and only accept funds from people who didn't come off a 14-day ban?

We need a bit more drama in here.
So when will Kelduum resign from CSM? I mean, a CSM chairman that has been voted for by thousands of players has been kicked for less, so why not? So... i started an industry blog at www.derbk.com/eve There i am preparing a guide to all things related to manufacturing. Check it out!

Since you want to bring "IRL" into it. Pretty sure this is real life however. If a family member wills you $1 million USD on death, and the government discovers that $300k was earned illegally. They don't take $1 million, they take the illegally earned portion. If you read the OP, you will see this is what Kelduum was asking about. He asked if all had to be taken.

thats how market botting works it's taking a small seed and using what is essentially compound interest
the only legit money there would be that seed and that's so small in 317b that its insignificantly minute and not worth accounting for |

After multiple attempts to explain the same information petitions are closed as the case has come to a conclusion. Not liking the answer is not the absence of an answer.
The notion that we have no oversight is also patently false. On the EVE project I report to the Executive Producer for EVE Online. This has been made known to the CSM in past visits but given that the CSM opted not to receive a security presentation this time around perhaps there could be some misunderstanding on their part regarding how we are structured.
Will we see a thread next that Hilmar has no oversight? At what level is oversight acceptable? A director? A VP? At what level is complete fabrication designed specifically to cause my team and my company's reputation harm acceptable?
Oh god, this is one of the best posts I've ever read. If I could like it ten thousand times, I would.

lol, you're wrong about that, and should google the words "Asset Forfeiture". It's not just "proceeds" that are taken it's also "funds, capital or property used to facilitate the crime" IRL the government would make the case that ALL of it was part of a criminal enterprise and impound the entire 1 mil USD. Asset Forfeiture law is a class every peace officer in my state has to take every 2 years.

My guess is more than 317 bil needed to be confiscated, but only the donation to E-Uni was available. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |
