As I refuse to publicly (or privately) apologize for what was a successful in-game event all participation by I Want Isk has now officially been removed.
There is the matter of 100 billion isk that has been sent to me as part of the prize fund for #EVE_NT that has been requested back from I Want Isk. My conversation this morning ended with me explaining I will consider this, however I am in no position until later tonight (I am at work) to send this back. I Want Isk have therefore taken the stance that I have refused to send back this isk.
This is simply not true, but as they have already slandered my name regardless; now I do refuse to send back the isk. It doesnGÇÖt feel right to use this isk as prizes at #EVE_NT as it would still be related to I Want Isk and that just doesnGÇÖt seem appropriate. I will not be keeping this for myself; instead I have sent it to Chribba to hold on to until the next PLEX-for-good campaign and I will donate the full amount to charity. Posting to confirm that I have received the 100b and will be held and kept for use at a future PLEX for Good event held by CCP.

Here's my reasoning from my standpoint. Every time a customer asks for my services I make a decision to either assist or not, sometimes I do help sometimes not, that includes stolen supercaps as well. It is not my place to act as a judge on what is right or wrong, only decide if I want to involve myself or not.
I've assisted supercap trades where the ship has been stolen, I've also declined assisting for the very same reason, and I've also been asked to assist in returning the stolen ship from the thief. If I'm looking at it harshly then it's none of my business if the ISK passing through me was stolen or scammed my job is to secure a transfer/contract, how things originated is not up to me (the obvious limit goes with RMT though as if I know it's RMT ISK I will def not assist).
So in this case, while I don't have the full details, nor does it matter really, I was asked by Nashh to hold 100b for the next CCP PLEX for Good - how he got that ISK (except clear RMT) isn't really any part of the contract he wanted - to give the ISK to CCP.
While some of you feel that this makes me untrustworthy I would say that from my view this transaction isn't very much different from someone selling 100x Carbon masked as a Charon on contracts for 100b and giving said scammed ISK to me to give to CCP. Something I'm sure many would be totally OK with, while it's not exactly the same as far as I know Nashh did have a discussion with I want ISK but situation did not resolve and therefor came to me.
Obviously, if involved parties do come to an agreement the ISK can be returned to I want ISK (or what they agree upon). I personally don't see me accepting this type of contract as being untrustworthy. If I would have to decline assisting thiefs, scammers, griefers and/or other type of less "good" activities in EVE, then a major portion of all the pilots would probably be illegible of getting assistance.
