Yea. I can't wait to see the latest news tomorrow. Does the reported by part mean that's the person who sent in the news lead cause i'm pretty sure i was one of the first to spam it.

Once upon a time, a guy of great experience met a guy of great money.
The guy of great experience left with substantial money, the guy of great money left with substantial experience.
WHEN I ASKED EVEN THE GODS LIKE AMARR155 TO BE AUDITED WAS NOT FOR THE AUDITS BUT TO SEE HOW THEY REACT, THIS *IS* AUDITING, NOT THE MERE PAPERWORK
When people don't dare to question EBank at the apex of its success (like I did) or the various "godlings" out there, they are fools with money waiting to become just poor fools.
Quote:
Major fail on the part of the trustees for providing cover for Bobby rather than an early warning system for investors on this
They fail more than you think. BB is not the only one who took advantage of game mechanics. Another major player has done so even if so far he did not turn this into theft.
Quote:
2) Is any number of trustees enough?
No. I never took a share (nor a say) in this IPO because:
- BB never accepted an audit and this shows a particular inclination of state of mind. - BB risk due to his intelligence and social engineering skills was so high that no audit would bring in anything conclusive. - Since he created that too much colored and urgent last Utu bond I knew something was changing. - Chribba doing that strange quote "Quoted for the sake of quoting the post. Should it be needed for future verification." http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1341805&page=5#136 - Trustees are European Bruxelles clerks. Useless Boureaucracy that can be easily played left and right by someone smarter. Even those smart enough to act safely like Shar, are victims of a game where scamming, robbing, embezzling, dirty play, spying, poaching are supported and consistently shown as smart ways.
RAW23 can think any crusade he wants, the game we play is stacked in order to forcibly always have a victim <=> predator scenario where the victim never has functioning ways to avoid being so. Sure, sitting in a station for 7 years and dealing exclusively with your own wallet prevents risk. But playing this is not a MMO scenario, so people play the MMO and immediately become victims *unless they avoid it*. This is the weighting of the dice that in RL is muuuuuuch mitigated (for small people): to be surely victim unless you outsmart and outplay the predator.
Net result:
People will idiotically learn nothing. Now they won't give a penny to the poor guys starting an 1B bond but will all turn their dozens of billions to the next "MD god". Who without audit and arrogant take (lol doubt of ME?), will cream them again.

It's part of a race. High level potential scammers of all sorts are trying to beat the record, therefore they honestly gather up enough to beat the record and then scam. If the scam desire clicks in since the beginning or only after a certain sum, who knows. We know the outcome though. - Auditing & consulting

But it is something BB can explain and i REALLY would like to hear from him wich of the two it was.Hell he could write a 15 page article about it and i would read every word of it.I am usually more interested in the reasoning then the actuall theft , no matter how big the amount.

Originally by: Proton Power Problem is the investors voted to create more voting shares after i said it was a bad idea. So 600 more shares were created, meaning bad bobby has same shares we do now.
This seems to have been a crucial part of the process - I would like to know more about how this vote was proposed and how those concerned were persuaded to allow it through. As things stand, I'm inclined to suggest that the directors themselves are at least partly to blame.
You could have created the new shares incrementally, removing the opportunity for anyone to seize an overall majority at any one step, or you could have just scaled down the number of shares owned by each active director. Why was neither of these more secure options used? Were people simply being lazy?
Incidentally, I own 1 share of T4U. What am I bid for it?

Nothing strange about that statement.
HYDRA (not Bad Bobby) had launched the bond, HYDRA seemed to collapse, so Chribba had to fixate the public list of investors to prevent it from any manipulations just in case the collateral would have to be sold.

I never checked your financials, but how much isk did you repay investors in dividends since day 1?
And grats for taking advantage of the thoughtlessness of investors, there were so many of them at least one should have noticed you having 600 extra shares to hand out could turn against them.

I struggle to understand why you achieved so much, just to thrash all your glory in a day. 850 billions or even 850 trillions are worthless when your name is in the mud forever, expecially in a game where the only valuable and lasting currency is fame and honor.

I guess there is a price on everyone.. The trustworthy people are becoming a seriously rare thing in this game..
In part I blame the missing mechanics.
On a day like this I like my TMPI shares a lot.. They already paid out more dividends then their initial value, so I guess that makes it a true AAA share..
I dont think this is the end of the MD, but it does mean there is a serious dip in trust and interest in future projects..

Hat's off!
But really this isn't down to Bob, if I had the chance to turn gate isk into $47K I would rip you all off in a heart beat!
This is down to CCP, the scam's will come thick and fast while GTC/Plex's are in existence.
This is supposed to be a game (fantasy!) when it has real world implications its crossed the line, especially when it condoned by CCP.
Get rid of plex's and this sort of thing will pale, I'm all for scam's becuase if you fall for them more you fool you, but scam's shouldn't transverse game play into the real work.
I know what your going to say ppl sell isk and items in the real world, well there is a leagal frame work that covers that which is supported but ccp

So you know of a potential major risk to investors and you won't disclose it out of spite? You appear to be confusing the 'some' who have given you a hard time with the 'all' who you are now happy to see suffer. What happened to your much advertised moral code?
Edit @Caleb - Isn't TMPI the second biggest shareholder in T4U? |

I have to side with VV..
Sure EVE is just a game, but seriously there will always be people ingame that know who you are in RL, and what you did. Sure these might be close enough to not "rat" on you.. but seriously.. You have to live with this stigma the rest of your life..
Would anyone here ever trust someone with an action like this in their past?
I have experienced first hand how your view change once a friend shows this side of their personality..
I dont understand why people sell their morales for isk or RL money.. Not that I dont understand the greed and lure, just the blemish you have to carry is not worth it imo..

My moral code forbids me to disclose such information without seeing the "act" being made. IE Bad Bobby has been in the same situation of being able to take control. If he chose NOT to exercise it, he'd not be a scammer and talking about that in public would just ruin someone.
Therefore first a trigger has to be pulled, then information would be released. Released *if* I was in charge of overseeing his business, *if* I was appointed to deal with it. But I am not, therefore privacy principle prevails and it's greatly eased by what I wrote above.
EvE will never change until the few you could trust are pissed in face, while everyone go and worship the shiny future scammers.
