He's stolen ships, space stations, and even scammed his way into the captain's chair of an entire alliance.

Of all the adjectives you might use to describe EVE Online's most notorious scammer, humble probably wouldn't be one of them. But that's exactly my impression of Scooter McCabe. Scooter McCabe has taken more than just ISK, EVE's virtual currency. He's stolen ships, space stations, and even scammed his way into the captain's chair of an entire alliance. EVE Online's treachery and treason is incredible, but getting into the game can be tough.

, cumulatively cost more than 11 trillion ISK and you begin to appreciate how destructive Scooter is to EVE's fragile ecosystem. You might think the most valuable resource in EVE would be ISK, but any alliance leader worth their salt would tell you otherwise. In EVE, the most valuable thing is trust. Trust holds massive player-made alliances together.

It was like buying a house and then changing the locks before the old tenants had a chance to move out—except Scooter never paid a dime. I ask Scooter if he ever feels bad after pulling such devastating scams. With a blank expression he says"nope." Dismantling an entire alliance that's seeking asylum might seem pretty cruel, but that's nothing compared to Scooter's magnum opus, Space Court—a spin on, an American sitcom. Scooter tells me he conceived the idea while reading the forums and finding countless posts from scam victims begging for retribution.

Unlike a real court, however, Space Court doesn't have any actual legal jurisdiction and its verdicts are meaningless. That doesn't stop them from finding the scammer not guilty in every circumstance before leveling charges of"defamation" against the actual victim. When I ask Scooter if they actually pay up, he shakes his head—not because they don't, but because he's so ashamed that they do."It's just amazing seeing how people turn off critical thinking skills.
