- $6,300 bucks the amount in Australian money Ricdic got for the scheme, which paid for a home deposit and some of his son’s medical bills source
so… basically a guy got ahead any way that he could by abusing a game that focuses on getting ahead any way that you can?
i don’t think i’ll ever play monopoly the same way again.
Well-played, sir.
Speaking as someone who used to play, this man is playing EVE exactly how it’s supposed to be played: No holds barred cutthroat exploitation of other players. Too bad he went with the real money transactions, though. He’s probably banned for life by now.
