Hmm, a theft of this magnitude is indeed - dare I say - EPIC. However, let's also consider what Villwrath has gone through, and why he has done what he did.
First off, hi, I don't post here often, and I most likely won't post here often. However, as being the previous Fleet Admiral for the SUN alliance before handing it over to Matrix, and being Villwrath's friend for well over a year, I feel that he deserves some defense from these allegations. Not because of WHAT he did, but WHY he did it.
Although I do most certainly agree that the actions he took were wrong, none of these actions are PERMANENT. Did he burn the isk? No, did he spend the isk? NO! When I had spoken to him earlier - before he went into his reclusive state, he had felt very betrayed. He believed that the corp and alliance that he had envisioned had disappeared. Is it his fault? Is it because he was a bad leader, a bad executor? I don't believe so.
When TIC was first formed, it was designed to be a joint pvp/industrial corporation that would ultimately succeed in claiming its own space. Let's not forget that without Villwrath, we would have NEVER had the fun we had in Fribrodi, nor would we have met each other.
Without Vill we would have never had that epic taste of 0.0 when we joined IAC, nor would we have experienced the tranquility of Iron space pre-Eve War I. Villwrath has done NOTHING but good for this corporation, never having taken a cent for himself, trusting everyone around him as much as we trusted him.
Infinite tranquility is not the reason me, nor my friends/officers, joined the corp. We came to fight in the wars and to better ourselves, hence why I personally am in FIX (Eve war I ftw \o/ ). Villwrath himself, is indeed an excellent FC and logistics manager, even if he doesn't explain his intentions clearly...
and THAT ^^ is exactly what this is, a failure to explain intentions. This is not the first time all the assets in SUN have been seized, nor will it be the last. When our previous director had seized all assets and shares in SUN during an internal crisis, Villwrath didn't even say a word, having full faith in his decision to do so.
SUN survived, with the reason for the aformentioned seizing of assets half a year ago being nothing more than a security precaution.
Now - let's take a look at Vill's current situation before you all assumed he turned thief...
His directors left. His diplomats left.
In other words, SUN's heart had been stabbed. Being bogged down heavily in real life atm, and having nobody he FULLY TRUSTED (see: Having known for years), he decided to seize all assets in an effort to temporarily halt all production ventures, secure the wallet at this vulnerable state, and rebuild the alliance.
So... what does the remainder of SUN do?
"ZOMG THIEF SCATTER AHHH IT'S ALL OVER APOCALYPSE!!!!"
Well you know what? After such a blatantly public and personal attack on Villwrath on these forums, I wouldn't be one bit surprised if he did decide to turn his back on all of you.
What happened to trusting him as much as he trusted us? What happened to understanding?
The evemail he wrote (most likely acquired fiendishly), was done out of nothing but anger, haven't I said things I didn't mean out of anger? Hasn't anyone?
Until you have actual proof that he's squandered the seized assets, consider that he is actually trying to recover from his real-life problems, and is attempting to rebuild the alliance.
I still fully trust Villwrath, and have faith in his decision, no matter how epically horrible it may look to the public eye, because I am sure that if the alliance continues to have faith in him, the assets will most likely be returned.
And Vill, whatever problems you got in real-life, good luck to you, and come back to the flying-space-ships game soon!
