I know, that's what first raised my suspicions. Mine corp rosters for intel and mine their wallets for isk. Then your alt takes the pot.

Does that democratize the scam?
There were banks that ran for years in EVE, they too swore they were on the up and up just to take the money and run. But I'll admit after losing my very first BS to what was later deemed an exploit I no longer trusted anyone but myself with my ISK. There were maybe two people I'd trust in my time in EVE and that was just because they had so much more ISK then me taking mine would have been pointless.

If you still want to participate you can gain up to two reward tickets per day for posting challenge suggestions (1 ticket per suggestion). That way you don't have to put any money down. There is an infinitesimal chance of winning going that route; however, you are still in the running nonetheless. I have also put 'some' limitations on buying the lottery by placing a cap of 15 million isk for ticket purchases, however there are no caps on rewards for completing challenges. Corporate betrayal is one of those pie in the sky ideas that I want to see if I can actually encourage. It would certainly be new for Dust. Has anything like that ever occurred in Eve Online?
Biggest I remember was when Band of Brothers was dissolved by a disgruntled director. At the time they were among the largest alliances in EVE IIRC. Maybe something bigger has happened in the last few years but I never really paid much attention to anything that didn't involve my own wallet.

However, it's the story of the Guiding Hand Social Club that initially peaked my interest to the universe of New Eden. http://eve.klaki.net/heist/These are the type of people I am trying to pull out to some degree with the lottery.
That's what I liked about EVE, if you had the patience anything was possible. Outside of wars I never really got into conning anyone, but it war targets wanted to befriend an alt that asked stupid questions I was all for it.
