EVE Online Rocked by 700 Billon ISK Scam

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the that's-a-lot-of-space-tobacco dept.

Martin Spamer writes "The space MMOG EVE Online, where mining rock plays a big part of the economy, has recently been hit by a huge in-game scam. The aftermath of the EIB scam... was 700 Billion ISK, which might raise some $119,000 USD if sold on Ebay. (The current conversion rate is 100M ISK to 18 USD.) These events have prompted claims of player deaths, death threats, and speculation about What Would You Do With 700 Billion ISK?"

    Yeah, making over $100k off a scam in a video game has no place on a site like this. Really. :P

    What Would You Do With 700 Billion ISK? Two chicks at the same time. Darn straight. Two chicks at the same time.

      From the thread: "At $12-$15 per 30 day time code, 120 mil isk. Gotta go ask a friend how much prostitutes go for here in Holland. Okay, you can get 2 girls till your done for $150 bucks. So you need 10 GTC's to hook up with two girls at once, that's 1.2 billion isk. With 700 billion isk you could hook up with 1166 girls. If I did my math right"
