There are a number of wildly inaccurate news stories floating around right now about EBANK. The most common one claims that EBANK had 8.9 Trillion ISK in deposits or that the Chairman committed the theft. Ricdic was the CEO, not the Chairman and at most, we've had 2.5 Trillion in deposits. Also, the Bank run has ended for the most part and we have not been forced to tap other lines of capital infusions. We are very well capitalized at the moment and withdraws are being processed within our 48 hour SLA.I love this stuff, you can't make it up.
This is a video game, however, corporations can grow to sizes unseen in the real world, and there are gigantic consequences to poor management.
I played EVE for the free trial. Loved the game, the graphics, the play, but the price, as MMOs go, was ridiculous. This game is run by Germans, and I guess they have some tax scheme in place there, as there’s a $5 online transaction fee with no way to buy otherwise. Why pay $21 to play EVE, when WoW is only $15 or less, depending on how many months you buy.
