Last night, news got out that Goonswarm’s highsec ganking department was struck by a 250 billion ISK theft of assets.
The Thief, Globby gained access to the ship hangers and then spent four hours traveling to multiple offices to steal everything he could. After completion, he left GoonWaffe and joined Origin, a corporation within Black Legion.
Globby gained his access to the corporation hangers by being an active Fleet Commander within the suicide ganking arm of Goonswarm Federation, but according to himself he burned out, which in turn led to this theft. Globby said that Anti-gankers had become more organized, bringing ECM ships to jam gankers and logistics to repair freighters and other gank targets. These new activities brought Globby to the idea of going elsewhere within New Eden and to steal as much as he could before leaving for new pastures.
According to API checks the theft came down to, 482 Attack Battlecruisers, 679 combat Battle Cruisers and 616 destroyers.
The majority of the assets that were stolen were just sitting in hangers, waiting to be used, which means that the effect off this theft will be relatively low. When asked, Globby said that he is looking to spent his newly acquired fortune on a fresh character to infiltrate another corporation so that if he needs ISK in the future his new character would be ready to steal stuff from the infiltrated corp.
