On removing district lockers, which they are actively doing.

This would be entertaining, I would love to do one of these. As bad as my scrambler pistol aim is.

You guys realize there's a vast difference between being CPM, an out-of-game position, and being a player in a game where business is business, no matter how "moral". which is a distinctly in-game decision, yes? Welcome to the metagame, folks.
I mean, that being said, one would hope we have a CPM who supports all manners of playstyles in New Eden, and in actually, Spero's in-game business has a really good reputation, but you know, just saying...

I would check your assumptions on how much it costs to enforce actively.
And given the sad state PFC has been in for months, this is chump change to be getting active corps placed on PFC around us, so we have better opportunities to practice.

District lockers have been successfully removed from PFC and will continue to be for the foreseeable future. In fact, district lockers are higher on Spero's priority list.

The issue with the "mob" analogy, is it doesn't actually equate to the situation at all. Generally, in a protection racket, the only one you're being protected from is the person you're paying. Spero's service is actively protecting from threats that we do, realistically, face, as well as ensuring we have a better play environment, by removing corps who are squatting and not participating. That costs a lot of money, more than you realize, and there's got to be a halfway-reasonable way of funding that.

Leadfoot, 200 mil a week is an assembled total. That's to cover enforcement on all 24 districts for the week. If you know how much the top tier ringers cost, you know it'll cover only a certain number of matches. Some weeks may require less enforcement, some may require more. ISK from weeks where enforcement is light can be used on weeks where enforcement is heavy.
Additionally, it's important to note that the maintenance charge a single corp pays, 8.75 million, is not only small enough to fit in a single clone regen, something you'll often get while waiting for an attack to commence anyhow, it serves a dual benefit for the corp participating. Not only are they protected from outside parties, but they're also paying for a better PFC experience. While many corps have done an excellent job remaining active participants of PFC, many have not. This has led to reduced numbers of opponents/available targets, leading to a less rich PFC experience. So by funding the enforcement system, you help ensure that everyone else's PFC districts remain open for business and available for play.

Personally, I don't hire ringers, and I don't have exact numbers. But you have, what, twelve to fifteen ringers, a something-million ISK per ringer per match, two or three matches per district (depending on structures), plus a clone pack for the PFC corp to reclaim. (Assuming ERA's districts can supply enough clones that they don't need to clone pack their attacks as well.) Ballpark it, it's not a pretty number. It's a pricey service.
