Sigh, newbies.
I wasn't going to post anything this but, since it's out here I might as well give the story.
The profits aren't anywhere near post worthy, but if I do say so myself, the actual story behind it isn't too bad and sure gave a few of my friends a little smile, so gather round children, auntie Kublai has a story.
It all began one day when I was bored, I hadn't really done any gigs for a while so I thought to myself, let's try something new.
I pondered a bit and in the end I popped by caod and the alliance map and made a little list of what alliances were dying at the moment, KA-TET stuck out as the perfect mark, losing their space out of stupidity and greed is the perfect combiniation, the best place to find your sucker.
I contacted Raven Kahn as the OP says, I did the old charm thing one thing leads to another when I felt I had gotten some trust I weer things over to doing a little job together, and you're right, you would have to be a blithering idiot not to know i'm a scammer, in fact it was my profitable track record as a scammer that got him hooked in the first place (the hulk bpo story is a magnet to greedy idiots).
For a cut of the proceeds raven would play the poor innocent victim, getting played by a seemingly legitimate space holding diplomat.
With Raven's voucher it was pretty simple, he got people to contact me and supplied me with a list of names I could approach myself, the scam wasn't monumental or anything, I scammed a few corporations for a few billion isk each, at least one of them claimed they would have to disband, one month rent up front, i'll help haul your stuff etc using raven to calm their fears of getting scammed they were readily contracting their stuff and sending their isk my way.
I guess in total I took TE-KA for 6.5b, I have no doubt I could have taken more but...well to be honest i'm lazy and i'm not greedy, by the end it was becoming a full time job keeping Raven from being found out, and if people started talking about the scam in TE-KA/KA-TET according to the plan Raven would blow the whistle and we'd make it look like he was the hero of the day for stopping me, while I sendt 50% to an alt of his.
Now as you may have guessed, Raven never got his cut, I never intended to pay him jack.
If you're ready to sell out your own for so little you're of no future value to me, so theres no real need to treat you right is there.
I wasn't planning on outing you like this but, given the OP I might as well just tell you what really happened.
Speaking of the OP, welcome to eve, blizzard -> that way, see we have a food chain in this game, it's not about SP or age, it's about something you don't seem to get, enjoy the bottom of the food chain, you'll be staying there.
I don't for a second believe I had any impact on KA-TET's death, as I said I choose them because they were dying, and we all know alliance ceo's can get tempted to get sticky fingers around those times 
As for you General Starscream, in my opinion you're a loud mouth amature and you certainly had -nothing- to do with this scam, so stop mouthing off.
To summarize: I scammed some noobs for enough isk to keep me in ships for a little while forward, it was funny, ka-tet leadership are greedy and exploit their members and renters (wow, thats a shock for a two bit 0.0 alliance) and alt posters are wimps.
Enjoy the show and remember to invest in my upcoming IPO!
