BBC: Billions stolen in online robbery

Space trading game Eve Online has suffered a virtual version of the credit crunch.

One of the game's biggest financial institutions lost a significant chunk of its deposits as a huge theft started a run on the bank.

I have to say I think it's nice to see that the people running EVE see nothing wrong in stealing the virtual money and causing a run on the virtual bank. In a weird way, it shows that they're really principled and ethical.

Between that and the devastating BoB defection, it's been a fun year in Eve.
