didn't read the story but this happens like monthly in the 1000 people server-node crashing fights, or at least did when I still played.

nowhere near as funny as the guy who ran EvE-Bank running off with the entirety of the bank and rofling the whole time

those server crashes really happen now, its call time dilation it causes actions to slow down

Ok, I watched the whole thing, couldn't tell what was going on and I was completely bored. 8K in real money? wow, people need to get a life. wish there would have been a close up of the ship everyone was attacking.

guy takes 200bill, makes the bank crash, sells his share for $6k, etc. pretty funny. also the guy who stole it used the money he made for his son's medical bills.

The fact that he used it for his son's medical bills makes it pretty awesome imo :P Unless the son needed the medical bills as a result of drugs or something
