Evol Devolves

A couple of weeks ago, we in Goon were rocked - rocked, I tell you - by the loss of about 25 billion ISK from our titan fund, when Goonfleet leader, founder and notorious fatbody Remedial stole it to fund his ham addiction. There was much glee from members of enemy alliance Band of Brothers, who saw this as hilarious. They were a little disconcerted when we, also, saw it as hilarious, but that didn't really dampen their spirits.

Roll forward a few weeks, and it was revealed yesterday that a member of key BoB corporation Evolution, home to alliance head SirMolle, had absconded with somewhere between 100 and 300 billion ISK of Evol possessions: an order of magnitude bigger than the Remedial theft.

In real-world terms, that would translate to over twenty thousand dollars in real-world currency. BoB seem to see this as a lot less funny than the titan fund theft, for some reason. We, just as predictably, see it as even funnier.

A lot is still uncertain about the theft. The amount involved is clearly huge, but until we see screenshots it will remain uncertain. The thief will probably sell most of it back to Evol at a discount, but that will still involve an utterly enormous loss for a corporation already hit by other, recent major losses.

No real explanation for his actions has been given so far, but perhaps he just fancied being rich?
