It's been a while since I've read about big time haists ala guiding hand social club. Someone scam someone, and write about it plz! I miss the drama! (Reading about GHSC haists, is what made me play EVE back then).

Pull one off on your main, then post about it yourself, don't expect anyone else to do the work for you.

Scammers are currently selling killrights on this toon for up to 5mil, if you have paid for this service demand your money back at once.

Killing me should be for free.

To be honest as great as large scale scams and heists are, I hope they are covered up and never see the forums or other news related to EVE, with the recent TOS changes I am in fear of the slope eve is taking.

The truly epic heists are probably safe from the ToS... Mostly, they involve pure confidence games, rather than your more sordid scamming. The Ubiqua Seraph takedown was about as pure a crime as you'll ever see. Likewise, Revenant Down was a very pure and clean AWOX; a classic in many ways.

The problem is that such high-profile events require the very thing they destroy: Naive Trust. The more high-profile mega-crimes there are, the less trust there is, and the harder it becomes to repeat or cap such crimes.
