TL;DR Summary

Players of the game Eve Online took advantage of the game's corporate voting system to give themselves full control of an in-game corporation and an estimated $22,000 of in-game assets, all under the noses of absent corporate leadership. The heist relied heavily on a previous acquisition of 1,000 ownership shares, allowing the players to meet the 5% threshold to trigger the vote in the first place. The duo was able to drain the corporation wallet of 130 Billion ISK and gain control of ships and other in-game assets worth over 2 trillion more ISK.
