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.

The theft was carried out by EBank's chief executive, a player known as Ricdic, now known to be a 27-year-old Australian who works in the technology industry. His full identity has not been revealed save that his first name is Richard.


Wonder why he needed it so badly.... Perhaps he spends to much time gaming? xD

Billions of ingame currency. £3000 equivalent. Not particularly big news TBH.

Sorry, I didn't make it clear. I was trying to point out that If he didn't spend so much time making a virtual bank then it wouldn't be nessercery...

Its basically just like stealing a load of Habbo Credits from a load of users and selling them for real cash.
