200 billion stolen from space
The avatar of the character Ricdic
It was a strangely terrestrial expense he was to cover, the man who stole 200 billion Inter-Stellar Kredits (ISK), from his bank in the game Eve Online. Ricdic was just going to pay his mortgage. Maybe if he spent a little less money on online gaming and a little more on mundane things like food, loan-payments etc, he wouldn’t have to rob a virtual bank to pay his real life mortgage!
The amount is worth roughly $5100 in the real world, making the exchange rate roughly ISK 39.215.686,27- to $1. As a funny fact, I checked the exchange rate between Zimbawban dollars and US dollars, and it’s almost the same, at 37.456.777,- makine ISK worth about the same as Zimbabwan dollars in the real world!
