Did some digging to retrieve this, had to share.
Story summary:
Attacked VU hub. Won first battle, reup won second, reup again go into third. Hard fought, MCC down to mere ticks. We both clone each other out with a tick left. Suspense waiting for black screen. VU gets the V, but there's 0 clones left altogether for both sides. Leave battle screen, go straight to starmap. District is vacant. Both teams spam clone packs at the hour mark, we get the district. VU tears break the CCP support ticket dam and flood Tranquility. We are having a ball in corp chat, drinks all around. I wake up the next day to the following emails:

Hi Senior GM Arcade here,
This message is being sent to inform you that the ownership of Muttokon II - District 7 has been changed. It appears that your corporation came into possession of this district despite losing the battle that preceded the ownership change. Despite losing the battle you were able to successfully move clones onto the district approximately 1 hour later and thus take possession. That the defenders of the district won the battle should have meant that no such movement of clones should have been possible.
It appears that you were able to take possession due to a bug in the underlying game mechanics. This bug has been brought to the attention of the developers who are investigating. We have refunded your corporation the cost of the clones that was moved to the district, this should be reflected in your corporation wallet journal.
We would like to pass on our apologies for any inconvenience this ownership change has caused. Hopefully you appreciate that when a district owner change is made outside of normal game mechanics then we need to intervene.
Best regards,
Senior GM Arcade

Hi Senior GM Arcade here,
We have received word back from the developers that as the clone count in the district reached 0 then it was allowable for another corporation to move clones onto the district and thus gain ownership. As such my previous message may be disregarded.
Your corporation is again the owner of the Muttokon II - District 7. The 120 clones that you purchased for the district are in place and as such we have removed the refund that my previous message indicates.
Please accept my personal apologies for the mistake in removing the ownership from your corporation. The mistake was entirely mine.
If you have any questions then please update this ticket. Should you prefer that the questions be answered by another Senior Game Master then please indicate as such.
Best regards,
Senior GM Arcade

Basically, GM Arcade thought he would take the initiative and switch ownership. Then, he got the ultrabent by devs. This is the only time in PC history that this situation ever occurred. To this day, I want to be in VU corp chat when the district was subsequently removed from them and given to us.
Favorite personal moment tho? Crashing my python onto tall profac tower and giving Roman the pilot logi people's elbow as Parthok watched from above (doing nothing to help) during the Tso's War. Oh and Kaisar's GG FA comment was a good one too.
My likes = Quasar's likes. GG.
