EVE Online ebank scandal
15 Jul 2009

The CEO of a Eve Online EBank, a 27-year-old Australian tech worker who identified himself only as Richard and used the online name Ricdic, misappropriated nearly 200 billion interstellar kredits, the game's virtual currency. Ricdic violated the game regulation by exchanging the stolen virtual funds for $6,300 Australian ($5,100) with players who preferred to buy virtual money rather than earn it playing the game.

Under the game rules CCP banned Richard's EBank accounts and he will not be returning to EVE anytime soon. Interestingly, Richard had built a reputation as one of EVE's few trusted players. While he is sure that in the same circumstances he would commit the crime again he expressed his regret over the fact that his actions let down his fellow EBank staffers.
