From the MMO-as-IRL file, EVE Onlineâs biggest bank has frozen accounts for anyone who invested any kredits with it, after it was discovered that the bank is 380bn kredits in the hole, without the funds to cover player withdrawals.
EBank, the institution in question, was also hit by a naked fraud scheme earlier this year, in which an embezzler stole 200bn kredits and resold it all for real world cash. The episode caused an actual run on the virtual bank. Now its new chairman has admitted the bankâs rampant mismanagement without following rules, safeguards and controls, has led to a 380 billion ISK shortfall.
