I personally think it's a load of bull**** that word will get out that you're easy targets if you pay. The truth of the matter is, these guys saw you on a mining op or got blown up by a POS you had, could have been any reason to be honest, and they were just looking for some easy ganks. The 500 mil is just to give the war a sort of legitimacy, and to see if you're actually willing to not fight for that much.
There seems to be some unfounded paranoia that every griefer corp out there will suddenly hone in on your ability to pay a single ransom attempt and start war dec'ing you left and right, and I seriously doubt that's the case. Griefer corps aren't in it for the money, they're in it for the ganks, and to have some fun. 500 mil doesn't split very well even among 5 people for a week's work. Let alone 10 or 20.
You take away that fun, they'll move on to better targets. My suggestion is that unless you're capable of hiring a proper mercenary outfit, or fending them off yourselves, you guys should just spread out across different regions for a few weeks.
But it looks like you guys already made up your mind. You said you guys would rather lose the money than give it to them, so why exactly are you bothering to ask us? Seems a little pointless doesn't it? It wouldn't matter if they're trustworthy or not if you had no intention of paying them in the first place.

By all Means for GOD sake Don't ask advice here. You are better Off asking in the INGAME help channel than asking advice here. These Forum trolls self esteem is so shot they have to belittle people constantly.(watch the smack I get for calliung the kettle black. The difference is. In 2 years of Eve this is probably my 3rd post total)
