One day, Ziggi and others left the server to attempt to join NPU. The guild bank was empty (Ziggi had moved it onto an alt on another server for "safe" keeping(once the empty bank was discovered and he was called on it in the SOE forums) and also rumored bribes to NPU to get their people in..as well as he just wanted it[I would assume]).

The new guild leadership called them out on it. Ziggi said it was all a misunderstanding, NPU kept Ziggi supposidly on contested watch for them(He never fully made it in, but some of the other did). Etc. Later Ziggi return "all"(But some inside sources tell me it wasn't all) the guild bank to a Elysium character. Course Elysium, had to pay transfer fee to get it back onto their server. Ziggi was asked is this all of it?(Since it did seem very thin for all their raiding, he said "yes").

Other sources tell me a GM actually got involved.

Course I assume robbing the guild bank of the guild you are a leader of, isn't against SOE rules, so don't know why a GM would get involved. It may be slimy, but not a EULA violation. But a source very close told me a GM pretty much forced ziggy to hand over the goods.

Even virtual money and goods corrupt people.lol.

I think because of all of the "public" stink NPU never let Ziggi in, some of the others in that group that left Elysium together did make it though(Most said they had no idea the guild bank came with them, and even if it did Ziggi has full rights to do whatever he wanted since he had been guild leader)

Some of the interplay can be found in SOE crushbone server forums.

The stupid fuck actually admitted he'd done it in tells, at which point the GM stepped in and gave us our shit back.

It's 1 part worrying (that he'd be so stupid as to admit it), but 10 parts scary. The guy had clearly gone to a TON of effort to do his homework on the person he was intimidating, including finding out the names of family members. /shiver!
