I read a little bit ago about the biggest scam in Eve Online history. A corporation dedicated to killing people for money managed to infiltrate another corporation for a year, destroyed and podded their leader, and stole parts and money worth 30 billion ISK from the corporation hangers. The best part is that this was all legal in the Eve universe. This is a great story, and I applaud the Guiding Hand Social Club (GHSC). A fitting name for such a scam as this.

I’ll admit I was a pretty big scammer in RuneScape. Microweasel and I ripped off countless people, not caring who our targets were. We scammed just for the thrill of scamming. If you were brand new to the game we’d take your starting equipment, it didn’t matter. I love reading stories about great scams, because we had so many great ideas, and I always love popping back on real quick for a scam or two. We also invented MSU’s, or sleeping bags in RuneScape about 2 weeks before they thought of them, but that’s another story.

This Eve Online scam reminds me of The Great Scam I read about a while ago. It has since been proved to be just a story, an idea that never got past the planning stages, but nonetheless it is a great story. Here’s a cached version: The Great Scam. And here’s the bit about it being fictitious.
