From a personal standpoint, I really don't care if Goon(dot), BOB(dot) or anyone else out there has CCP in their leadership. It is there game and it really does not effect my game in the slightest...
But what kind of frosts my hiney... is the incessant insistence that they are NOT there at all (even after certain historical events demonstrated that CCP employes had, once, in the past, effected the game directly with their dev powers) They most certainly are there, they have always been there and they have always been tied to the biggest and baddest alliances of the time. That is not to say that devs made said alliances great, it is only to say that they were attracted to that arena for reasons only known to them. The presence of a dev does not instantly infer misconduct as the forum trolls would have you believe.
& ATM, the biggest and most influential alliance in the game is basically goon(dot).
...
So to say "We dev's are not giving players an unfair advantage, and we are not allowed to talk about our presence in game"
is one thing...
But to flat out deny that there are any DEV's in leadership roles throughout eve online (FC roles, manufacturing roles or whatever roles) inside of major player run null sec alliances like goon(dot) and friends is complete and utter bunk. You should not be able to talk about it at all, and that means that you should not be able to confirm or deny it in any way shape or form.
The only valid answer that you should be able to give us is this  "Yes there could be dev's in said role. It is possible and not against the EULA... but we are not allowed to discuss it and I cannot confirm or deny whether or not their are at present. ".
...
The potential is there and the possibility is there, but more pressing is the history of EVE Online which shows us that the likely hood of there being devs in said roles is greater then them not being there. This does not mean that misconduct is the inevitable outcome, but on the flip side to that people are only human at the end of the day. So yes, they are there. Yes, we know that they are there, and YES it is OK THAT THEY ARE THERE.
Just don't try and tell us that they can't/won't/will never be there, because that is just blah blah.
