I can't decide how I feel about EBANK confiscating the isk of someone who has scammed via an IPO. What if the IPO just failed? What if a corp goes to EBANK saying an EBANK client has corpthieved them?
On second thought, it's a slippery slope, and I don't like the idea of EBANK doing it. |

are you going on the record saying you would never support an action like this even if you were the target of an elaborate scam?
I'm going on the record of saying, "Unless it were handled very professionally, with the strictest of guidelines, I foresee problems." I'm not saying it's all bad, or that it couldn't work. I'm just saying I'd hate to see it done poorly, or even mediocre-ly (is that word?).

I believe that this case is an amazing example of a sure scam. He might as well dance around yelling, "I scammed you!" and put it on YouTube. Most cases, however, don't seem so cut and dried.
In this case, and on other case by case instances like this one, I wouldn't mind seeing the investors get paid back with whatever EBANK was holding of this guy's. What worries me is what that could lead to. It's not that i don't trust EBANK to handle it professionally, just that it's in my nature to question where slippery slopes end.

Edited by: Stardust CEO on 08/01/2009 04:00:45 Does this mean that having an account with EBANK with a decent balance in it could become a form of security? Or would the scammer just withdraw their isk from ebank the day before they run off? If so, could a spontaneous withdrawal of isk from EBANK by an IPO/Bond offerer be considered a red flag?
Edited for clarity.

Originally by: Ricdic I should point out that anyone as the ability to use EBANK as a collateral fund. Lets say you start a new IPO and want to place 500m as collateral. Have Kazzac (as guarantor) open a shared account and give you deposit level access. You can then wire the funds there and they are now formally secured and you can still see them there.
At this point Shared accounts don't gather interest but this should be changing very shortly.
Good to know. |
