Happy Birthday EVE! Been an amazing ride so far.
IŠm probably going to get killed for telling this story. CanŠt remember precicely when this was, less than a year into the game.
So we had this big alliance war against corp X (some of you are probably going to figure out who, they managed to declare war on around 12 corps at the same time (and this was before alliances became available btw)) and these guys used every dirty trick in the book (and quite a few not in it aswell) to play the game and we higly suspected that one of them was to dupe stuff.
So one day in a system near Jita a hauler from corp X got shot down by someone and we hear it all over the alliance channel that the container that the hauler dropped was full of megacyte (The guy who shot the hauler didŠnt have any cargo to pick up the loot). So a good friend of mine in my corp realises that he has an alt in the next system that has a rifter fitted. So he logs out, and into the alt and gets moving as quickly as he can to the system where the hauler got shot. HeŠs the first guy to the can, opens it and sees infront of him around 400k units of Megacyte (Now this is still very early in the game so this can was probably close to beeing the most valuable thing in the the whole EVE universe). Then he notices that thereŠs a lot of people appearing in local, and he can see some haulers on the horizon approaching fast.
Suddenly he realises that the cargo on his rifter is rather limited and he makes a quick conclusion that, "Hey! If I canŠt take it, why should I let anyone else?". So he targets the can and pops it, then flyes back to the station, and instantly deletes the character (back when that was possible) to remove all connections with his main.
It was only then that he realised that he could have atleast filled his cargo with some of the Meg before he popped the can, and this was back in the days when money was money.
Anyways, he was shaking and so high on adrenalin for a week afterwards that it was almost impossible to understand a word he said on TS.
Shortly afterwards corp X got banned for duping stuff, so he pretty much did the right thing and removed ill gotten items from the game.
