Consider if you will, Eve Online.

Last, week, Dentara Rast -- a character in CCP's Eve Online massively multiplayer online world -- pulled off an impressive stunt. He ran a classic Ponzi scheme and walked off with 700 billion ISK (in game money, and quite a lot of it). Normally, this kind of in-game bravado would generate nothing but a confuse stare from someone not deep inside the Eve universe, and little more than scandal-of-the-week titillation and subsequent yawns there. But I believe this case is more interesting than that.

I believe Dentara Rast committed fraud.
I believe he owes the IRS a lot of money.

Admittedly these are bold statements likely stuffed with straw, but they have deep implications, and bear argument.

That's gotta be J'inn. LOL!

Nope it isn't. J'inn confines his activities to selling things at what would best be considered unethical prices, and random acts of piracy. As for the BMBE and the other large scam that recently went down (currin trading, that stole 70b in isk) nothing unusual other than the amount stolen. With that much isk the dude should go into setting up some stations and making money off of that, or maybe buying a titan. At any rate there's a lot of pissed off people because of the amount stolen, so there will likely be a lot of whinage on the fora for a while.

Cavat Emptor as usual unless you're dumb as it seems many are.

He must be depressed that someone else thought of it first then.

How do you know it wasn't J'inn using an alter ego so that it was more difficult to trace back to him?

Or even worse for Jinn, what if Shop-a-saurus Rex has gone digital.
