You mean yesterday afternoon ?
Granted, not a huge drop yet, but still.

The possibility does exist. But, meh.

Yeah, I was pretty :yawn: about the fact they didn't even manage to hit the "lazy 2300" I was talking about when they touted it for the first time all official-like.

Except that it wasn't infinite scalability, now was it ?
The two big Jita purchase rushes when it kinda' started were for somewhere around 1 bil units total on top of the usual oxytope traffic, and those purchases were made at an average of around 550 per, so call it 550 bil "buy in" costs for Jita stockpiles.
Let's assume for a moment the unthinkable that almost all of those purchased isotopes were Goon purchases, and that in the next two and a half months or so, almost all LATER sales when prices were high enough were made by Goons (that would still account for less than a third of the total sales, and most of the sales near peak prices), for an average price of around 1350 per, give or take.
So 800 ISK profit per piece give or take (ignore taxes and other trivialities) times 1 bil units or so equals 800 bil maximum theoretical revenue from the Jita side of things. That's approximately an average of 60% RoI per month, by the way, give or take (145% across the entire op - no idea where you got the 500% from).
The resulting 800 bil ISK might be nothing to scoff off at from an individual's perspective, but at an alliance level, not all that great. A technetium tower can yield about 20 bil ISK in the rough interval that the blockade happened, so that's the revenue of 40 technetium towers. There is at least one region with almost twice as many tech moons, and a few others with about as many.
Sure, maybe it happened in a similar fashion in other regions, but I don't think the rest of the markets combined are that much more than Jita alone.
So, yeah, the fearless leaders could have theoretically made quite a bundle

With your lowball approximations, it only yielded as much as an entire technetium-rich region of space filled with 40 POS, while destroying billions and billions of ISK in mining barges. Obviously an epic failure.
Actually, that's the high-ball estimate for Jita. And nobody said it was an epic fail. Just that you might have been able to make even more cash by focusing all that effort on something else instead.

Hey, you guys have fun blowing up stuff and harvesting tears, we have fun telling people who "only" make a few hundred billion that they could have made more (especially if they calculate the the RoI they actually obtained wrong).
I'd call it a win-win situation ! :P
