EVE MMORPG scams 170 Billion

This dude named "Cally" sets up a bank in the MMORPG game "EVE Online" and gets people to give him there money to store in Callys bank in hopes of earning intrest. The guy then takes off with the money.. People want real life action to be taken. How sad some people are.. People always asked for more realistic games. Now they have it!

they lost their players money? and it was only game money they lost not real world money, got to luagh about it all.

will he may have walk away with all the other players money but it was only game money not real money.

dang thank god novalogic, inc don't have the option for player to earn money as they play the game and use a gamer banking system to save their total into one day their servers go down all that players money are gone do to reformating of the servers.

One better Mike:
City of San Francisco, Calif, has the Golden Gate Bridge for EIB-2 million.
Come with a 2 year service plane for free, after that point you have the option to keep the service going for EIB-50.000.00 for each year after that point or sell it to another buyer.

All tolls go to the State & city road work Dept
