Aye, doing well. Work and home have been kicking my ass lately. What free time I've had has been dedicated to investigating long enduring lines of money laundering within a certain unspoken industry….
Things have come to my attention over the last several months that are worth investigation if not already…
GAMES… RMT = Real Money Trading
Quite possibly one of the worst things to happen to any multiplayer game in history.
Money laundering, of course, is an art form… As you and I both know. A lot of laundering always leaves some kind of money trail… or digital trail (crypto) of some kind.
But what about RMT in GAMES?
There are some games that have totally unrestricted economies (one in particular)
Let's speak hypothetically here for a moment… If the act of laundering usually nets anywhere from 5-7% return on investment… And there are -countless- games that one could conceivably RMT in… Given enough assets, and the right people running the RMT rings… The ability to launder endless amounts of money is there.
It ruins game economies, and players suffer for it… and companies are either blackmailed into allowing it to exist… or inundated with so much of it they don't have the money to handle it.
RMT…. Copy Cat Games… you name it…
It's a problem. a HUGE problem.
