Cerebral Wolf Jr Immobile Infantry 760	Posted - 2012.09.17 09:34:00 - [1] - Quote A fundraiser to benefit the family of Sean "Vilerat" Smith. Sean Smith was a veteran Foreign Service Officer of the US State Department. His life ended tragically on September 11, 2012 when the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya came under attack. He was known to his many friends in EVE Online and the Something Awful forums as Vilerat. His intelligence, patience and good humor were the cornerstones of Sean's life and those traits moved everyone he came in contact with. Sean was a devoted husband to his wife and he was a proud parent of two children. To show our love for him and for his family we hope to raise money to help with their current expenses and his children's college expenses. http://www.youcaring.com/fundraiser_details?fundraiser_id=9332&url=benefitforseansmithsfamily Could we get a sticky please Mods?

It's very legit, it's on multiple websites and endorsed on the one's i linked too. CCP staff have also donated to that website so you really can't get any more legit.

When it comes to asking for money and donations like they have in past events for fundraising, I am sure they did not allow it to be a scam.... However, that being said.. Eve is a dirty dirty tough world, and it wouldnt suprise me if some sick bastard would see dollar signs off some guys death and his families struggle as a way to scam others outside of that official event

Cerebral Wolf Jr Immobile Infantry 760	Posted - 2012.09.17 18:20:00 - [11] - Quote Well considering it was only set up today and it's already raised something like $50k dollars last time i checked i think it's hardly likley going to be a scam with those numbers involved and the publicity it's getting.
Grezkev The Red Guards 100	Posted - 2012.09.17 18:40:00 - [12] - Quote Props to everyone for supporting Mr. Rat. However, while charity is obviously a good thing to do, I think that it should be pretty clear that his family is going to be taken well care of by the U.S. State Department.

That's not the point, this is about the Internet community he was a huge part of doing it's bit to help his family out and show our support. Its been posted on the EVE online, CCP Games and Dust 514 twitter feeds now for those of you who still think it's fake.
Dead's Lackey Seituoda Taskforce Command Caldari State 43	Posted - 2012.09.17 18:57:00 - [14] - Quote I also can confirm this is not a scam. Mr. Wolf Jr. is Cerebral Wolf in-game on the EVE client side. He is Goonswarm. To further verify, he warped into an anomaly and cloaked with a Noctis after asking me very politely for my loot to complete his loot table. Very honest fellow. I will not leave a memorial to Vile here as I have already paid my respects via themittani.com and the EVE-O Forums, but I will say this is a great cause and urge people to donate. A brother was taken from our community because of senseless violence, and his family should be helped in any way possible. Simply because those of us who spend time in New Eden, we are all family, and family helps each other out.
Cerebral Wolf Jr Immobile Infantry 760	Posted - 2012.09.17 21:33:00 - [15] - Quote Very well said! I also welped my Noctis not long after that.
Minmatar Slave 74136 Sanmatar Kelkoons Minmatar Republic 291	Posted - 2012.09.18 01:07:00 - [16] - Quote The fundraiser is now north of 60K One of the donators to it was 'Smed' aka John Smedley, President of Sony Online Entertainment and apparently a big EVE player. There is an interview with him on www.themittani.com

OG DonHel 65	Posted - 2012.09.18 10:44:00 - [18] - Quote In Seleene's words: "Sean made the world we all play in much more dangerous while simultaneously making the world we all live in that much safer." RIP Sean, fly safe VR. I didn't know him personally. I have encountered him a few times in the past, and have heard many things about him through others. I am sure his family will really appreciate all the support and encouraging words people have given them over the last few days. Tragedy happens around us all day every day, it's a fact we all live with and face at some point. And at times like this, if you have been effected by the lost person and his family is grieving. Leave them a few words , and if your able to , send a donation to help his families future. This site has only been up a couple days, and the community of people who were impacted by VR or felt compelled to help seans family out even not knowing of him have generated a nice sum of money that will secure a future for his children. Of course they will recieve some sort of benifits from the government and maybe personal insuarance ( not sure on how combat death works with that) but those take time, sometimes a long time.. to be recieved...which in the mean time can cause debt to pile up. From what I have gathered sean really wanted a bright future for his kids, and knew the importance of greater education. These funds raised will help keep that goal of his alive, even if he doesn't remain. To conclude this, all I have to say is : Sean VR smith, friend of many, foe of few, you will be missed but will be remembered more. Take care, and fly safe o7 we shot many blues for you
Olivia Robyn Doomheim 2	Posted - 2012.09.18 11:10:00 - [19] - Quote As I posted on the Eve-o Forums, I have the Pleasure of Interviewing him when he was Running for CSM 5 for New Eden Radio (Yes I am DJ DrizzCat) Him and I spent alot of time talking after that as well, he was a Great guy and will be Missed alot. o7 Sean You will be Missed

Cerebral Wolf Jr Immobile Infantry 760	Posted - 2012.09.19 03:10:00 - [22] - Quote No sir, thank you for helping out his family. Now go shoot some blues.
