Haha...
Well played.
Meager investments from a lot of people pay off.

He's saying he's grateful to us for all the ISK, and now he's doing a runner.

I said it on the mailing list, and I'll say it here too.
I see some people saying how they lost all the ISK they had and how they're now taking an extended vacation from EVE.
Now, I'm a pretty new fact to this section of the forums and the Market scene itself, but even I knew enough not to throw any ISK into the pot that would be damaging for me to lose. As a personal rule I wouldn't put any ISK into anything that I can't easily make back in a week, tops. I've made more AFK mining Veldspar on a second character while I do things around the house like clean or work out than I invested.
Hopefully some people will learn about their limitations from this. It's the same rules that apply for running a hauler or a Freighter around. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Don't fly what you can't afford to lose. And, in the case of investments, don't invest what you can't afford to lose.
This is like gambling. Some you win, some go bust. This one went bust. Others will win.
Short of some of the attempts at belittlement amongst some people in here, this thread and Riethe will be forgotten and buried in a few days I'd imagine.
Riethe did, at least, make for some good late night talk on my nights off from work anyway, and provided a good lesson on what to avoid and watch out for from any future potential investments for me.

I've had a few people ask for their money back.
Well...
Can I?

Didn't you say you already earned it back?
Mostly, actually. It's been what, a day and a half?
Never hurts to try and get a little more though now does it?
Originally by: Riethe
Yup, you were around the house and you already got that money back!! don't try to fool me minerva, you sly dog.
What I invested was a bit less than half of my alt corp's wallet, which is in fact by and large ISK made from AFK mining whilst I do things around the house, along with a little bit from cashing in some LP for sellable items when I was getting a couple alts some standings.
That, of course, if you'd remember out conversations, is nowhere near my main wallet.
Like I predicted, a few days and this will be well good and forgotten.
