According to AlexijII on Reddit, Darkness scammed him for 320b.

Can anyone confirm this?
I hope it's not true. If it is CCP should reevaluate their, "HaHa you got scammed" policy!

Only a matter of time. The third party industry is dead thanks to keepstars. Dark was always the businessman who unlike chribba was in it for self gain above all else. It makes total sense he would cash out with the highest tick item before his industry fully died.

reputation is a luxury in eve, if a player with such reputation decides to turn to the darkside then why should it be ccp's problem to intervene? these sort of "heists" are what make eve online get front page of the internet

Why, especially now, when alternatives exist for something like this?

Is there a reliable calculator/converter to put a "Real Life" cash value to this loss?

320 billion is roughly 275-280 PLEX at current Jita prices - let's just call it 275 for grins.
At the individual plex price, that's $4,930 US, give or take.
Or enough PLEX to sub a single account for 23 years.
Funnily enough, it would have been worth far more in terms of dollars a few years ago when PLEX were cheaper.
Eve is like an addiction; you can't quit it until it quits you.

tbh the whole thing with being dyslexic to avoid a contract is totally suspect The only issue is how people reading those front pages will look at Eve, the players and community in general. Getting to the front page of the internet for being a douche in other peoples opinions doesnt good publicity make imo.
Now that being said... not surprised in the least this happened.
Have you heard anything I've said?
You said it's all circling the drain, the whole universe. Right?
That's right.

Doesn't matter. He freely gave that isk, and now it's gone. Scam is legit, regardless of where the in-game money came from.

scamming is part of eve and something, if you agree with it or not, you need to be watchful of. |

https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/203218892-Scams
Quote:A scam is what happens when someone takes advantage of a players misplaced trust, temporary confusion or ignorance of game rules, and robs players via legal in-game means. When this occurs, there is nothing the Support Team can do for the victim. Although low and despicable, scams do not violate any game mechanics and can not be compensated for by the GMs, nor can the scammers generally be punished for their actions.
However, scams that affect areas outside of the game may not be tolerated in the same manner, such as, but not limited to:
Scams involving Character Transfers, mainly via the Character Bazaar where scamming is explicitly forbidden Scams mimicking services provided by CCP while providing modified data via third party websites Scams using exploits (fake or existing) Scams involving the "PLEX for Good" campaigns

Bullshit. You totally planned to go down this road, from the moment you decided to outrage-repost a Reddit thread in General Discussion (for maximum visibility) in order to troll until someone mentioned scams, so you could spew your opinion forth and create more controversy / drama.

CCP made an actual eve vid that was all about someone stealing all the assets of a large alliance via similar means. |

Fortunately, I've only used Chribba as a third party.
