300 billion for evol is probably like someone stealing 3 or for bil for a normal one. Unlike the STK theft, this doesn't look like he got the income source aka bpo's

Due to the size of the heist, the GM team took a look into it to see if there was any violations of the EULA. No misconduct was found and any actions taken against the player by CCP were reversed.

Ya, i especially love how when he locked it, he linked to the thread he just locked and said no YOU TALK HERE.

Truly baffling. Must be one of those days in iceland.

It's at least confirmed that SOME kind of theft took place, and given that CCP doesn't generally temp ban people just to investigate an act of petty corp thievery, it's a good bet this was a big one.

Of course, this is all speculation.

Wrong. If someone reports an account as hacked, CCP bans first and then investigates to prevent further damage. Wrangler and Kieron even said the account was suspended because of the massive scale of the theft, so it wasn't just another "petty theft"

300 billion for evol is probably like someone stealing a few bil from a normal one. Unlike the STK theft, this doesn't look like he got the income source aka bpo's, so in the long run its not that bad a hurt, despite the scale.

Wonder if this will put a damper on the festivities at the BoB Weenie Roast.

People are saying this is low, and bad and terrible. I REALLY disagree with corp theft but in this case i dont think anyone can feel sorry for evolution.

Its no secret that BoB arent afraid to use any legitimate actions no matter how lame people view them to get ahead. For example when they smartbombed the D2 titan just as it logged, i think this is justice, they played dirty, and now its been done right back at them.

It's amazing CCP acts so quickly with information under the threat of Goon spamming and abuse. Nice work showing how easy blackmail is. You don't see so many dev posts, if any at all, with other cases.

My question is why would the account be banned for the time of the investigation? When no wrong-doing was found? Why not investigate... then ban if needed? Guilty until proven innocent?

---

The account is banned in case it is hacked, to make sure the person hacking it doesn't cause any further damage.

Comon... it was perfectly clear who stole... why would they worry about him selling loot and hiding the evidence? and the question of "Hacking"? wouldn't that be done thru several accounts... and not just one?

The investigation wasn't so much about the corp theft as to make sure the account wasn't hacked. If it was the afflicted corporation would have gotten the stuff back, something that would have been complicated if a hacker would use the time to spend money and items.
