EVE Insider Trading Scandal

Massively reports the latest entertaining intrigues to come out of the ruthless gameplay of EVE Online, CCP's sci-fi MMORPG. It seems a player elected to the Council of Stellar Management took advantage of the information about upcoming changes to which members of the council are privy to engage in some insider trading. This involved as much as 5 billion of the game's ISK, and as a result, the player has resigned, and further his accounts have been banned, as this falls outside of the skullduggery the game celebrates, and is a violation of the game's EULA.

In the real world most people end up in jail and have to forfeit all their money, IE: there are real consequences. In the virtual world you get banned, OH NOES!.. But like the real world, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I liked the premise of EVE but the way things are setup your pretty much guaranteed to get worked over. Considering how many scandals have come out of the game I wonder why anyone would waste time trying to play this. I already get screwed over in the real world everyday I don't need my games to do it constantly too...
