He is not innocent, and I told him multiple times that he would get to keep his account if he could just keep his mouth shut while I was looking into what happened to him, Dyablo and Marcus Saintz. I also gave him a chance to tell me exactly what happened, and said that it would speed up the process as he seemed to be in some kind of hurry to put his character to AFK-botting before he would go to bed. Instead, he just kept telling lies and calling me all kinds of words; in other words just refusing to co-operate. I repeated that I would give him his account back when I found out what happened, and he told me that I could give the account to Dyablo if I just let him play on a new account where I wouldn't bother him. I said that I wouldn't bother him if he played on a new account as long as he would follow the rules, and then I gave his account to Dyablo.
Since that didn't let me finish my investigation I don't know exactly what happened, but something along these lines:
- He mailed us asking for an e-mail change on his account because he wanted to give his account to Dyablo (we've received the mail from the registered e-mail address & Dyablo saw him send the mail through TeamViewer)
- 2-3 hours later he mails us again, asking us not to change the registered e-mail of his account (either way we wouldn't have changed it, because we don't allow e-mail change).
- Then for some reason Dyablo let him into his house, and while Dyablos went AFK, his house got robbed. Since Dyablo has spent a lot of his time as a tutor assisting players on ShadowCores, I felt like I owe him the favor of looking into it.
- Chaazzie logs in on his account after being offline for ~30 minutes (I believe he was online on Marcus Saintz selling all the items in market and then transferring the gold to another character which I've suspended already), and I teleported his character to jail and told him I would let him stand there until I had finished my investigation becuase Chaazzie claimed that his character had been hacked (and supposedly his mail too then, as he sent us a mail).
- IP logs and other data prove that almost everything Chaazzie told me was bullshit, and after suspending Chaazzie (and his friend Marcus?, as that's where he transferred the money) accounts, he told me I could just give the account to Dyablo, which I did so that I could continue working on the upcoming update without wasting more time on that.
Chaazzie's side of the story is pretty much that everything that happened was because of his RL (which he calls Marcus), and that he just got home from 9 hours of work when I messaged him, but Chaazzie is Dutch and Marcus is Swedish so that was just another lie (because Chaazzie said that Marcus was sitting next to him). The IP logs also show an IP from Netherlands on Chaazzie while he was communicating with Dyablo and when he was online on Marcus Saintz. So if anyone is innocent in this, it's Chaazzie's friend Marcus, who I haven't had the chance to talk to and since his accounts are registered to invalid e-mails I have no way of contacting him either.
EDIT: I also forgot to mention that while this was happening, Chaazzie was also DDoSing Dyablo's IP-address to complicate things further.
