Well I left, I hadn't logged in but I have been reading the forums.
Several days ago, on SCC Lounge you said you'd sell the character (was it for 1B?) or biomass.
Did the sale go as bad as the rest of your venture?
By your words, you are supposed to biomass, then.

Being evil is only fun if there are overzealous "saints" opposing you.
Imagine you are evil and nobody cares...
QFT.
You are spent. Used. Gone. Boring. So 2010. None cares of yet another weak copy of Bad Bobby or the countless YAWN guys who believe being the next scammer is any better than being the next snowflake.

Just look at what happens to priests who have to spend their whole life being nice!!!
It is written - and they accept it - that those who will do good will face against evil and will possibly die.
People who die for their ideals are a rare breed, those who die for helping other people are even rarer and are an example for the others to follow.

Personally I don't understand the hate that is laid against scamming. It is well within game mechanics, his and most importantly your choice that this can occur.
It's also well within RL mechanics and a choice in there as well (just *sometimes* with some more consequences). This might why people apply in game the same "hate" they apply in RL.

BB you were an intelligent poster, your services good and comprehensive. Why did you have to thrash it all like that  . For stupid Monopoly money none the less.

I don't think I've become a less intelligent poster
I don't dispute that, but whatever you'll say will be easily trolled, considered dubious at best and so on.
You are sort of trapped.

All my friends that invested were refunded in full and some were given the chance to sell their shares, once the scam had been executed but before it was reported, for extra profit
But now how do they know that you are not going to pull the same stunt on them some day, for whatever newfound convenience you discovered on the run?
Players in EvE start with a "don't trust anyone because you never know" bias already. In your case they DO know that you have done it once, why not again?

So you are a roleplayer? Unless you are an "evil" guy in real life, then YOU are the one playing the role and all those people that abide by laws, or think stealing is morally wrong, are the ones being themselves ie NOT roleplayers.
You said exactly what I was about to.
Also, by stating that it'd be unwise to shoot on his own team mates it shows an utilitaristic view. "It's good for my aims => I act good. It's irrelevant => I act bad.". Since most things are irrelevant to one's life / aims then by default such personality will try squeeze out value of the next guy with little remorse.

I thought it was all part of an evil masterplan worked out from the start? Are you now saying 'MD made me do it'
I want to add my experience about this.
You know you don't usually find someone talking about his defects on MD (but you may find a lot of posts of mine doing so).
You know you don't usually find someone thanking others expecially in EvE.
But - as I have done in the past - I feel no remorse stating my true feelings:
I am thankful to MD. It did not push me to become "evil". On the contrary, I came to MD because I was attracted by something I did not know at all: business, finance.
I was amazed that people could build a whole social infrastructure with bonds, IPOs, banks... It's just huge!
And then I found many people - some became friends - to teach me so many things. Finance and much more... it all started off MD.
After I lost my job (probably forever, no way a 40 old can get employed again with dignity here), I actually LIVE because of what MD teached me. It pushed me to explore RL finance and trading and now I may afford a crappy life but still ... a life.
I can't even imagine how someone would thrash the learning opportunities spread all over MD. Much less why he would become "evil" because of them.
