EVE Online Ponzi Scheme Nets $50k Worth of In-Game Currency

Posted by Soulskill on from the almost-enough-for-a-monocle dept.

Calidreth writes "EVE Online is famous for its stories of theft, underhanded dealings, criminal empires and general unscrupulous play. For EVE players, this is generally an accepted part of the game and part of the risk players run. The type of scheme might be old, but the profits were big in the latest EVE Online scam, which has broken records and is now being called the biggest scam in the game's history."
