i will be honest with you, in the 5 years that I have played EVE i have scammed people. Who hasn't or even tried at one point?

Myself, for example. Never did, never tried.

That doesn't change the sentiments of my post though......investors will decide the relevance of a scamming history to the worth of a bond offer. If, as a potential investor, you've decided it's not very relevant then I guess you'll be out on a limb there.

I find it funny that the hardcore capitalists in MD seem to have such high ethical standards.

Let me tell you about the time I sold an Iteron Mark III for 800 million isk, and you tell me what you would have done.

Some scammer had been doing the usual thing, buying up all the 800K Itty3s in Jita, trading them at silly high levels to raise the average price, and relisting them at 800M. I decided to bring in freighter loads of them, selling them at something like 1,500K, or twice the usual price. I figured the manipulator would be forced to buy up my stock and I would make a nice fat profit.

Of course you all know where this is going. Some careless guy tries to buy a 800M itty and I get the sale, at the scam price. So what should I have done? Should I have:
A) Given the extra money to the manipulator, who obviously did all the hard work and earned it;
B) Returned the money to the rich fool who probably never missed it anyway;
C) Given it to charity; or
D) Used the money towards a nice expensive BPO to research and put to good use.
