Interesting bit of Eve trivia for you all:

SOMER Bliink is the original corp, and has a long history of exploiting stupidity to make ISK. The more popular SOMER Blink (one "i") was actually created to siphon ISK away from SOMER Bliink (two "i"s) by imitating them and hoping people mistype the name. Their model was to short-sell on the scam, predicting that if they did so more people would fall for it even if they'd never heard of the original SOMER Bliink scammers. Instead of never returning any of the scammed ISK, they return some of it through a complex lottery system. By using this scam mechanic, they were able to increase the overall amount of ISK they make, because they could now derive it not only from people who mistyped Bliink when falling for their scam, but from people who willingly partake in the lottery as well.

Anyone who calls this story dubious is a :literalhitler:.
