Trust trades are just dumb in my opinion.

In my opinion, a person is trustworthy up to the point where they aren't. For instance, a common scamming method is to build up trust with someone over time by lending/borrowing items and giving them back. Then the last time the person asks to borrow something and scams it.

I don't trust anyone with anything that I can't stand to lose.

It's the story of a guy named "cally", who ran a corporation, a player-operated bank called "Eve Intergalactic Bank". Over the course of four months, hundreds of players deposited money in his bank, which offered interest, loans and insurance like every other ordinary bank. Except for the fact that one day, cally decided to grab all the money that was deposited and fly off to space with an alleged total sum of 790 billion Isk. In real life, this would translate to $170,000 - quite possibly the biggest MMO scam ever conducted.

Not only that, he also took the time to record a video in which he confesses his crimes, makes fun of the community, and reveals that he is a pirate, who once held the highest bounty in the game.

I read the whole story in about 4 hours a while back. Very interesting.
