I love the part where he almost seems to be working for the greater good.

It always works the same way.
1) Person scams for whatever amount 2) Person gets outed from the community 3) Person disappears 4) In case where person doesn't disappear they spend some time bragging about their accomplishments before disappearing. 5) In case where person doesn't disappear and generally hangs around but doesn't overly brag they feel they can be accepted back into the community. However they eventually come to realise that the community will never accept them back, and they complain and do everything they can to get their credibility back.
Anyway, with option 5, we have some precedence. Princess Trinity, Angelina Starchild, and a few others who's names have escaped me.
Anyway the people end up selling their characters on Ebay and buying new ones but it's never the same. Some people's are found out who their previous characters were and they realise the true extent of their isolation.
Anyway, Reithe at this point seems like number 5. Maybe he will end up with his own number but that's the direction I see him headed.

Originally by: Riethe Ricdic, why would I be worried about being accepted by you on this name, when I'm already able to talk to you frequently on my other names?
Anyone can talk to me on any name. Either way it was pretty valid. I gave a few examples and said I thought you were the last mentioned one, or your own unique one. Either way just about every scammer made the same snide remarks about how they would scam again and they had contacts and all this bs. Whatever floats your boat.

Originally by: Argenton Sayvers 6) They join Bob. (Lofty, Fendra) 7) They resell officer mods (ArtemisEntreri) 8) They remain Eve-heroes and synonyms for eve-online in general (Istvaan)
Vegeta / Fendrian seem to be fine too. Not to forget the myriad of corp-thefts, espionage and tower-offline betrayels etc that are so common in the alliance world.
I cannot remember this forum ever having a good thread on officer module reselling, so it doesnt even cover the entire market spectrum, not to say the entirety of eve.
As for Riethe - who else wants Istvaan back?
None of them scammed via this forum. That's why they weren't included in my analysis . Plus I didn't think of them. I could insert some part here about how low scamming your friends is etc etc but I will leave it be. Riethe has his ego filter on. A scam isn't an achievment, nor is a corporate theft. It's an abuse of friendship and trust. Game or no game I don't want to be RL friends with anyone who chooses this path.

Fendra - Omnigen, one of the first scams here. Artemis - SVE, the scam that got refunded (and later, the scammer got his money back), and finally led to a clarification of the rules. Almost every big name back then got hit by this one...
Maybe you see now what i was talking about...
sorry, by 'this forum' i meant the Market Discussions section. Only Currin Trading / SVE was on this forum from your above mentioned list, and he fits into my numbering categorisations.

Originally by: Shadarle I absolutely am not wrong. You do not talk to me in game on any alt, only on Riethe. I am sure of this. I know you'll continue to say I'm wrong, but I am not. There happens to be other ways to know that I don't talk to your alts, so every time you say otherwise I know you're lying.
No point arguing with him. We know how he values his character, and that lying is a term that is no doubt in his vocabulary. Frankly after his scam, anyone believing he tells the truth would be stupid.

Nah I would put EIB on a larger scale in terms of brand awareness. In terms of popularity however Istavaan has the title for his daring theft adventures. It's one thing to tell your story on how you done this/that (Istavan), it's another to keep on trying to bignote yourself and throw your ego around (Dentara Rast). No-one likes a show-off as they say.

Omnigen
If that's conclusive evidence then i'll be damned.
Anyway the point was that people generally don't hang around the MD forums after they have committed thier scams. Some try too and eventually disapear, others try too and get upset that they aren't allowed back into the 'ring' etc.
There was no real point to my thread and it's kinda gone off-topic just a tad whereby the whole thing defeats the purpose.
Anyway, Riethe will craft his own future path. Time will tell what direction it takes, but I personally don't feel he will be chatting in here casually 4 months from now.
