Excellent thread, couldn't have wished for a better one to read on a Sunday before going to bed and finishing the week.
Thanks, congratulations and well done on making him pay!

Thank you, reading the kill and the local smack put a big ol' smile on my face. And the fact it's a corp thief, gets this thread my vote for 'you win the forums today, good sir'.

You shouldn't have to either tbh. I learned years ago that when dealing with the Interwebs, you either choose to suspend disbelief or nitpick everything to pieces by asking for silly proof. Even if you didn't do it in reality, the thought of it being done is much more fun than some boring attempt at disproving a good story. In the end, if you know well the times you are suspending disbelief, and allow yourself plenty, the Internet becomes a much more entertaining place.
So, no matter the reality of the case, I still think you kicked ass.
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story  . Even if it is fake, this thread delivers.

Out of curiousity what did he take? His reaction in the logs and reference to a few t2 mods implies that he feels like he
just took what he was owed/had earned, but your actions imply he took a lot more than that.

Okay, I am just going to post the whole gorey story.
Several weeks back,
We camped a gate with cloaks, we had a spy in our WT corp (Another reason I wish to remain unnamed =)), and their corp mail told all their missioners and other carebears to move all their assets from their HQ to a base out of the way and to make sure we didnt know their names so we couldnt locate them and they could continue normal operations about 30 jumps away while their PvPers enjoyed the war with us. A reply said that he didnt want to move without a scout. The member making the first mail would scout the way on his noobcorp character.
Noobcorp character came online, so we hopped in our ships and waited at a chokepoint system we previously agreed on, which they had to cross one way or the other to get from a-z. We waited half an hour and nothing, so it was just jokes on TeamSpeak. Surely enough though after about 45 minutes we see the 19 month shuttle pilot jump through then warp off. Cloaks off.
About a minute or so later stargate activates.
It just so happened to be a Iteron V and upon popping it left some goodies its wreck was packed thick with rare minerals, some nice salvage stuff.
A handfull of T2 items, looked like a fitting for a maelstrom due to 8x 1400mm T2 artileries and 2 Faction shield hardeners T2 X-large shield boosters also a faction MWD were present and some other faction goodies.
Our traitor, He was the only one in gang with skills to fly a hauler, and we had to move it quick before the hauler pilots whines brought some retaliation, so he bought a Iteron V a few systems away and he hauled it back to a corp hangar. A very noble feat, and he was very well congratulated as we wouldnt have had all the minerals if it werent for him, then it went sour.
He wanted 75% of profit because he had the killing blow on the mail, aswell as spending his own money to buy an Iteron V and hauled it all those jumps. We each compensated him having to buy the Iteron V, but told him no and it was to be split amongst the gang per normal, 5 ways this time as there were 5 of us there. At this he went quiet for a while, then told us he had already sold all the loot and spent it on some nice new shiny implants which equated to 600m "hahahahaha" he goes then logs off, and quit the corp 24 hours later. *Edit: I would like to add that I did check his contract details, and he did actually sell them.
He remained in a noob corp since, as we were just going to war dec his corp and get him that way. But a few weeks later he still hadnt joined one. So I sent him a convo invite, no response.
Next day he sends me one. I strike up a conversation with him apologising for ripping him off, he said it was no problem. he didnt reply yesterday as he was afk all night mining. After a bit of a chat I ask him if he was macroing. No he says, he told me (foolishly) that he now runs missions then before he goes to bed, leaves his shiny CNR, flies a few jumps in "nothing atall really" then hops into his Iteron V and mines all night.
Over the next few days I use locators to get the location of his mining. And the location of his missioning at respective times when he would obviously be up, or obviously be asleep. Thats when I figured the route he is 99% likely to take (shortest). One night when I was talking to him he says "anyway, I have work in the morning I am gonna fly cya."
So I then had an approximate time he would move, I tested it for a few days in a alt noobcorp shuttle, and surely enough he flew through the predicted gates in his pod within an hour of the predicted time.
Then begun my plan, and you know the rest already.

Brilliant planning and good execution brought you success. This is what makes EVE great. You used all the different channels, checked your assumptions, made your trap accordingly, and he went pop. Doubt it can get any better.

This just gets better and better, I must applaud you in your skills in subterfuge, not many I know would have the know how, the patience or be able to pick up on or laterally think the way you did there.
Also the fact you had a spy in your war targets corp shows all this sneaking about it commonplace for you!
Congrats.

yep - very well played. Both yours and his reaction must have been priceless at the moment the plan played out

<bump to this topic>
Would be nice if it was stickied. I read it just about every day and it seems to make everyones day as well. It would be nice to have stickied so people can see what can happen to Corp thievery

Truely epic, good work mate, I heard the guys in your public talking about this. The level of organization in all the ops is immense though. I have come to not expect anything less!
Can I join your corp?  You know where to find me!

With cunning and creativity like that, OP ought to be running his own merc corp. Revenge of that magnitude would fetch TOP prices. Even better, start a merc school and teach stuff like that.
