This does raise some interesting questions. For all those who vouched for EIB, what of them? Will they forever be suspected of being accomplices? ARE they accomplices? Will they throw themselves upon ceremonial suicide swords and empty their wallets to help reimburse those who lost money?
Something like this actually happened to my maternal grandfater. He was part of running a bank that tured out to be a scam. He didn't know about it, so he could have gotten off scott free. However, many people who were his friends and fellow soldiers had put their money in the bank because of him, so he emptied his own wallet in order to reimburse as many people as he could. And thus the story on why our family is a poor one in America, instead of a rich one back in Taiwan.

It wasnt going to be a scam until all that heat came....
which incidently your started...
Thanks anyways Currin, you helped me make the decision.
And just a correction on my part. EIB was not the scam. I scammed the EIB and the public. Im just a pirate at heart 
With all due respect, but I'm sure you can understand why we would have difficulty beleiving anything you say at this moment.

It's funny you say that, as that is exactly what everyone said to CT after his scam.
I find the diffrence to be one of trust. Currin tried to make logical arguments to his cause. Now his arguments may have been flawed (even if the end conclusion happened to correct, that doesn't mean his arguments were necessarily sound or made in the best of intensions) but we never had to trust him, just listen to his arguments and either accept or reject them on their own merits.

Another interesting point:600 billion can buy someone 2100 90 day time codes. Meaning that Cally can buy himself and and nine of his friends enough GTC to play Eve for the next 50 years.

Scary thought:Supposedly Cally's phone number is actually real. What if someone with a bit too much monet and an axe to grind gives the phone number to a private investigator? I know that if you type and American phone number into google, it'll spit out the RL address. Don't know about British numbers though. . .

British numbers even more so, which makes one think that the ones that DO KNOW the phone number are INFACT in on it. Cause otherwise it might be too risky ****ing off all of the investors and leaving an adress behind. dont buy into the **** by napthalia and emfi and others, wake up!
Either that, or Cally has made a fatal miscalculation.
Well, hopefully not really fatal. This is a game, not something to lose your life over.

Heh. Dark Shikari has constantly been saying "it's not a scam" when he has strong suspicions it was a scam. Oh well, no tearful apoligies then or drawing of Japanese suicide swords.
