Edit: on another note, I'm curious as to why they would've had to have been hired. It seems that they could do this trick at will, get the ransom and leave, no one is the wiser. There is no original corp who got screwed over, therefore you keep a modicum of credibility should the ransom get paid (seems unlikely but rumors are someone has paid).
My guess is that they have not yet to be contracted by anyone, rather just thought of this "plan" as they went, got carried away, and now think they're big time criminal masterminds that can control the place.
I mean, why else would they name their employers?
Its an incredibly dumb move no matter how you see it, BUT it makes it look like there's actual interest in them and their little "trick."
Plus openly admitting to such "Counter-Hiring" (or whatever you wanna call it) is just a horrible idea, anyone with half a brain would know hiring/ paying up such people is simply a bad deal for anyone but them.
Unless of course they're only saying it so to incite someone to pay up on their charade.
(Which again, no one with half a brain will do.)
To be honest, I really doubt they've made a single Isk from this and were just hoping for said "ransoms" to go through, that failed so now trying to make their little joke into something more, tho completely unprepared and winging it in hopes something will actually happen.
Heck, I wouldn't doubt if the whole "Grief University" thing was thought up after/ during the D-Uni thing.
I mean just look at their "demands,"100M Isk?
As some have said, that is but chump change to any half-decent corp, showing they're in need of said chump change, so they're probably mere beginners trying to make some quick isk.
They say they have infiltrated tons of corporations and that they're these big time villains, but really its probably just him/ her and a couple of friends in a few alts here and there.
Even all that aside, if you think about it, this is an incredibly bad way to try and make real, constant profits from, not to mention the fact that ANYONE can do such things, so there's no need whatsoever to hire them in the first place.
Why should they pay you, when they themselves can do the exact same thing for free?
Even if this turns out to be a good business, the simplicity of it will mean there will be tons of people doing the same thing, probably better, so your "business" will be severely cut.
If you want to make a good profit on anything, you have to make something that not many can do or are willing to.
This on the other hand, anyone with the ability to make an alt can do it.
Requires 0 skill, 0 Isk, 0 SP, 0 Thought, its all about getting lucky and catching some dumb corporation to actually pay up.
There's no demand for it and really, there won't be unless it becomes something extremely complex only few can or want to do.
So...yeah, good luck trying to make this an actual thing because from the looks of it, its not something that can be really grow beyond a small pay here and there if you're lucky. |
