First let me make a statement: I generally would not condone this type of grief-play against anyone, even some random person I don't even know, but in this case I can make an exception against farmers.
That aside, I was in ingunn, popping haulers left and right as usual when I get a private conversation request from a farmer. I'm so accustomed to getting convos from them where they simply say something like "Lobster Man I want fack you mother" that I typically just block them without even humoring them, but for some reason, this time I decided to accept it. Immediately I was surprised when the farmer said something to me along the lines of "will you help me make continuous story book assignment?". After some pondering and more broken-english exchange with him, it is evident he wants me to help him with a storyline mission 
Now our entire objective is to try to destroy the farmers standings as much as possible, so I play along seeing if I might somehow be able to get this guy to fail a storyline mission. We continue the text exchange, and I struggle very much to understand him, but it appears he is willing to compensate me for my assistance. I initially demand 500m, but he informs me that "he is poor" and can only "forgone isk wallet 50 M". I agree to help him, I join his gang, and very much to my surprise, 50m is deposited in my wallet. At this point I realize he must be serious, and warp to him at 100km just in case it's a trap of some sort. There is in-fact an encounter, and there he is sitting in his reaper.
This particular mission is the one where you must kill Taisu Magdesh, so I work my way around, saving him for last; the farmer was going and looting the wrecks just as I would kill the ship. By the time I'm ready to kill Taisu, the farmer is on his way over, but I've got a good 10km on him. I pop the officer's raven, grab Taisu Magdesh's Insignia from the wreck, and move away to make it look like I haven't done anything wrong 
Now I'm no mission runner, as I've run very few missions in my life, but as far as I know, that insignia is needed to complete the mission. I'm not sure if the farmer had the common sense to purchase another insignia from contracts, but I had the good sense to snag all the cheap and nearby available insignias just in case. Whether or not he completed the mission is unknown to me, and I'd like to think he didn't, but I managed to make an easy 50mil from one of the many chinese farmers which are currently infesting lowsec.

Unfortunately you also finished the mission for him. Done that one a couple of times and the second you kill the leader, the mission is complete.

Obviously. I've run missions for some time. There is mission loot needed some times, but I've never seen the need to return an insignia as proof of the kill. If the goal is to kill the officer, you did it. Congrats! You also pleased the other farmers nearby looking to sell their worthless (well, as far as I've seen) insignias. Good job! :P

Well, anyway nice As long as you cost em money, you are going the right way!
A rule of thumb would be that only people/reports/chips are required to take in missions, also in most missions, mission req loot will drop in a can next to the wreck. (dammit im exposing my ex-carebear side here)

Perhaps I will just take the money, kill and pod the farmer, and then go back to shooting haulers next time

hmm isn't this actually aiding isk sellers, a bannable offense?
other than that, nice story and a nice payoff.
