And it's over. Waste of money.
Anyone got the name of the guy by any chance? The level of stupidity displayed here was directly proportional with the money invested. Both huge.
I wasn't watching directly but a buddy of mine who was said it was NeoNoxie. He's very obviously an alt, what with the jan 10 2010 birth date.

Well, someone said they had 500m isk sell orders bought ought, by a character named "Dositheus" or something, which is a one day alt. NeoNoxie may not actually be involved in the manipulation.

854 PLEX bought and sold.
17.8 billion net profit.
Tons of fun to be had.
Hrm... so it took 270+ billion isk to make 17.8 billion over the course of half a year... hrm... 
You got a better return on investment and effort for that much isk? There's only a few things at that combination of capital and effort that could generate that sort of yield. He just did one of them.
By his own words, 450 of them were bought "a week ago" which means that 400 of them were stockpiled around 270, which is 108 billion worth. Had he simply (slowly) sold them off around the 340-350ish mark they were at before he began, he would have made somewhere between 28 and 32 billion isk, minus broker's fees.
So, yes. However, that doesn't account for his given reason number one, namely, "I was bored". Boredom can justify smaller returns for a larger investment if doing so is funny.

6 PLEX = 1 ticket
1 PLEX = 17.495 USD
1 Ticket = 104.97 USD
I don't know if fan fest ticket prices have been announced, but can I make the assumption that if prices are below 104.97 USD than PLEX won't be the payment of choice since players would get more value using them for game time?
If CCP sets the ticket price close to last years price of 75 USD then they essentially destroy 26 days of owed game time off their books per ticket.
I didn't even want to think about EUR USD conversions in this, my head hurts enough.
edit:
Another thought someone buys 800 plexes off the market turning them into tickets and selling them on ebay. Are thoes buyers banned from fan fest at the door?
800/6*75=10,000
sorry if this is off topic or been brought up before.
The flaw in your assumption is that people taking advantage of the conversion care that they're not getting an "exact" bang for their buck. It's $100 (or however much) less that they have to spend IRL (or looking at it another way, $100 more that they can spend on booze).

NeoNoxie is back at it...dumping PLEX as we speak. Only problem is, he's using a software program to read and undercut prices. That certainly has to be against the rules...right? He's got about 18 sell orders up in an attempt to move about 50 PLEX. If you are under his price by -.01 isk, wait 1 minute and watch the 18 sell orders (all at the same exact price) automatically reset. hhhhmmmmmmm.
If you think he's botting, great, report him, whatever.
