[EVE Online] Ebank Director Runs off with 200Billion Isk
Yet another reason as to why I love EVE so damn much!
I’ll cut right to the chase;
Ricdic, Ricdics and EBANK Ricdic characters have been banned by CCP. We are in the process of emailing our customers with this information for those who have emails in our database. We’re switching over to another deposit character and I’ll confirm that when it’s finished. You may have also noticed we are still handling withdraws….we intend to keep doing so.
Yesterday was a busy day. Here’s what we know for certain…Ricdic has scammed and engaged in RMT. He stole roughly 200 Billion of our 2.3 Trillion in deposits (8.6%). We are in the process of getting a new deposit character in place and hope to have this completed by tonight. He might have gotten away with more but Amarr Citizen 155 and Athre were able to prevent that. Please give them your thanks; I know I do.
Short term strategy; EBANK is processing withdraws and shrinking…we expect this will happen organically but if we need to nudge it along we will.
Long term strategy; still under debate. We have a few options on the table and are debating the best way forward from here. If we need to raise additional capital (which we don’t believe we have to do right now) then we have a few options we’ll pursue.
Bottom line;
-EBANK Ricdic has been banned
-EBANK Ricdic is no longer the deposit character for EBANK
-EBANK Athre is the Interm CEO
-EBANK is processing withdraws
-EBANK is solvent and will take additional steps if capital infusions are required
-EBANK will post again on long term strategy once we finalize it
I hope that addresses some of the concerns and I also hope to post more later and provide updates. I appreciate the support some of our customers have expressed.
Read more in the EVEO Thread. Suffice to say, the guy deserves any punishment he recieves from CCP for the RMT, but not for the scam itself, so artully was it done over the years he has obviously be planning this!
