Even though I have nothing invested I am sort of hoping for the heist suspections to be false. For once it would be nice to have a good and legit business idea in Eve that wasn't a scam.

I think it might be obvious what happened..


Also my account sheet shows its still all there.

It was nice while it lasted, probably could have stolen a lot more if he waited till after X-mass.


Off to other investments as I think this thing made fools of all involved or maybe I'm wrong.

Maybe, but he could at least tell us so we can congratulate him :P

Mine still shows the expected balance.

Well, I guess I can't be surprised but I was hoping this was actually legitimate. This service did run for quite a long time and seemed honest, how unfortunate and disappointing.

I was approached by someone recently who offered to assist me in turning my, currently temporarily closed venture, into a ponzi so I wonder if this was at all related. Most likely not but still makes you wonder.

This definitely doesn't look good for this being an actual bank.

Also the eve-mongul page has been at 0 for several months and the last time he logged in was late Sept. He could have just chosen not to use it. However, I think having it would have added some level of authenticity to his bank so probably bad that he he not using it from an investor stand point.

As said above would have been nice for this to have been legit but I don't think it is with what has happened recently.

Here is the eve-mongul page for anyone who wants to look at it with all the 0's on it:

He would have needed to log in on EVE Mogul on at least a daily basis for figures to be updated, so he likely wasn't using it. For some reason all your figures revert to 0 if you don't log in, so it's not an accurate measure of any profit gained if you opt not to log into the service.

What I am trying to say is that if he wanted to make it feel safer for an investor having it stay active, logging into it, would help make people think it wasn't a scam. Which when this started he used it that way but then I think some people started asking questions about it and what not so he might have chosen not to use it. I will say when the eve-mongul page was up it didn't look to great, at least compared to what he was saying he could make and did make.

Thanks for the info on how eve-mongul works, I don't use it as I have other ways to evaluate my profits for the little trading I do.

Him making it safer was this thread and other people like myself confirming the first time it closed that he paid back deposits ect..

Then when he re-opened, all of us came back and then sum with probably more isk based on the first time around.

Unless he comes here in the next 48 hours and has a reason for what happened.
He's probably lurking and jerkin about his recent come up.

You can only look at yourself to blame.

you thought this thread and threads like it were a great investment.

hard lessons, despite several major players here warning not to invest, scrubs still do it.

go figure

Blame? it was a highly likely this would bust lol.
What makes you figure I thought this was a great investment?
I have quite a few collateralized investments and this was a wild card always.
Others lost a lot more then me, I personally think he could have gotten away with much more after 6 months.

Thought I'd compile some quotes.

I'm sorry to disappoint you both, Illegal Investments is not as was never a scam attempt.

Isk is not Illegal Investments primary objective, isk is not what drives me to log on everyday. Isk is a by-product of my gameplay.

Hello, this is quite an important update.

Posting from this character because:
Illegal clone 001 was banned (temporary, pending investigation). Illegal Spokeswoman is on the same account.
The forum rules forbid discussing bans on the forums so I'll leave that there.


Untrustworthy portrait. Look at those eyebrows.

This EVE-Mogul profile was posted by Illegal Spokeswoman here. Last active in 2014?

Darion Maken posted this EVE-Mogul profile (here), last active in November.

But this EVE-Mogul profile was active yesterday.

You invested in it, you thought it was good, saying others lost more that you doesn't make your judgement any better.

bad luck.

I never thought of this as an investment, it was a gambling at best. I wish it went longer though for the lolz.
I can't speak for others like you do, judge my portrait though all you want. It's worth more than your super.

Who could possibly have predicted how this one was going to turn out?

Oh wait, that was a sarcastic rhetorical question, the answer is anyone with any common sense whatsoever.
The guy practically ticked the "this is a scam" boxes off for you.
If you lost money here you deserved to lose it and a lot more on top, and I'm sure given enough time you will.
Even the scammers are getting weary of people's stupidity, making banks called "The Merchant Bank of Ponzi" with a CEO named "This Alt is a Scammer".

I wish that it had popped with more fanfare and story.
Eve scams need a good write up please.

This was a scam? Haven't been checking the forums in a few months. Glad I was unable to log in and throw money at this during its reopening.
