I remember reading about a guy who was a top hauler/trader. He ran courier contracts, started with nothing and made billions off of them within a matter of months. I think he stole a lot of the stuff if the collateral deposit was too low. I remember he made a post with pictures of him and his wallet with all this low/nullsec minerals that he ripped off of someone and made like 60 billion. Then I heard a rumor it was all duped or something and he did not know that before he took it and sold it for profit but I never heard for sure.

He had a hell of a lot of good forum posts and stories about running trade/contracts and outsmarting gankers and I really enjoyed reading them but cannot remember his name or find any of those awesome topics now. I am certain this was within the last 6 months.

Who was he and can anyone link me any of his old topics if they know who I am talking about please? I would very much like to tag them.

In the end he didn't get that isk.

"Regretfully we are forced to remove 42 billion ISK as well as 4,3 million units of megacyte you received when you failed a courier contract issued by JitaTradeGoddess. This mecacyte was created out of thin air by a duplication exploit. Due to the potentially game-breaking amout involved, we have no option but to take this action. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience."

Interesting... What was this exploit? Does anyone have a pointer to this?

My assumption is that failed couriers here were used for laundering isk without any loss. If you hypothetically wanted to transfer a large volume of isk from one account without making it a transfer, trade or gift but instead having the recipient 'earn' it legitimately then a courier theft would be a good way to do it. Don't know how the duplication was done though.

If I recall correctly there was a contract bug that allowed you to set up a contract and the goods would not be removed from your hanger. You accept the contract and viola, double the goods.

Supposedly the exploit was a "zero day" (whatever that is) courier contract that added an extra zero to the quantity of goods to be moved. Rereading the thread I still can't make sense of the exploit. The thing that stands out the most is RAW23 going on and on about the "ethics" of public courier contracts missing the bigger picture entirely.

Hmm, ethics? Can you give me the definition and use it in a sentence please? And the origin of the word please.
