The problem is that the t20 incident is not a standalone event. I remember we got intel that a BoB corporation was camping a star system hours of traveling away from their current operations. We was wondering why when CCP hosted an event in the system and several CCP actors jumped into the gatecamp and died , leaving lots of valuable loot behind. How did the BoB corp know about an event noone else knew about? Half a year later the eve community finds out that the guy in charge of events is also a director in said BoB corporation. The guy withdraws from his position of "unrelated" reasons.

The popular alliance tournament had prices that was valuable enough to shift balance between alliances. It was won by BoB several times in a row. At one time the secret eve character of the developer hosting the tournament was revealed. Going through his corporation history you discover that he joined the BoB corporation that won the tournament the week after the final. Was he a neutral judge? (his eve character is known for a high profile scam, so we already know he is not the trustworthy kind) The developer is no longer with CCP, but I am not aware of any official explanation why. My theory is that CCP forced him to choose between his eve character and job. CCP delete/rename any character that the community find out is owned by a CCP employe. He still plays his character and he left ccp shortly after the connection between the character and developer was made.

There are lots of these kind of incidents, but only CCP is in a position to look into it. It looks like they are cleaning up their act , but they got almost 4 years of incidents they are not willing to admit to. There are a lot of cheaters from that time in CCP, and neither they or the players that knew and benefitted from it got any punishment. CCP still keep quiet about it and until they go back and deal with them I cannot trust CCP.
