"Record-breaking heist: MMO swindler steals $22300 with space capitalism"

An EVE Online player has pulled off a record-breaking heist, stealing an estimated $22,000 worth of assets from a corporation within the space MMO. The player created a new account to infiltrate the corporation, triggered a vote for a new CEO, and then cleared out the coffers to net 130 billion ISK. The heist is legitimate, confirmed by developer CCP, and is unlikely to change the game's CEO rules. EVE Online's official currency cannot be cashed out into the real world, but can be used to buy another in-game currency called Plex.
