GENERAL QUESTIONS:
- Were Olisaurus123 and Montilou aware of DEC procedures to create a company? In particular, were them aware of the obligation to be registered to create a company in-game?
If I recall correctly: at the time Olisaurus had Lemonade registered and, by virtue of this, he has to have been made aware of the procedure. There is no way for him to have registered his company otherwise. I cannot say the same of Montilou definitively.
2. Basing on the DEC ticket opened by cjcroft, can you assume that Olisaurus and Montilou lead these activities in a malicious way? Can you provide further evidences to this court?
I do believe that both were but can only definitely say so for Olisaurus due to a lack of evidence otherwise. This is on the basis that: (i) Olisaurus crawled over what was clearly a construction wall, whether or not there was a posted notice, in order to engage in mass sales after purchasing product off me; (ii) after engaging in mass sales Olisaurus re-created the company; (iii) after recreating the company Olisaurus messaged me asking whether or not he would have access to company chests; and (iv) Olisaurus, despite knowing he would not be able to retain the company, put up a company registration form in the DEC subforum out of what we can assume was spite for the DEC and in an attempt to cause trouble which led to the registration having to be forcibly removed due to his not removing the post himself.
The conclusion to draw is that Olisaurus purposefully targeted Walmart for their obsidian and enchantment table prices after noticing the contrast in prices between the two storefronts Walgreens and Walmart and it is likely that, after a certain point, he simply decided he would take the company and its assets. i.e. taking the company and its assets was secondary to mass selling and was an afterthought to the process.
3. Did Olisaurus and Montilou used the same scheme on other businesses?
Not to my knowledge.
4. Was Montilou directly involved in this activity?
Yes. He and Olisaurus both purchased obsidian from me and both sold to Walmart.
5. Did you noticed any impact of this activity on the reputation of Walmart Co.?
It, as a direct result, spurred needless speculation on the market value of Walmart based on a loss of company funds which consequently led to several individuals seeking to sell off Walmart shares upon news reaching the public. It must be remembered that company balance is hardly what makes up the vast majority of a company's value so a loss in company funds would cause a fairly small loss in market value. This, by the very nature of the market, would inevitably lead to actual losses on behalf of Walmart despite their market value having not been affected--if at all, negligibly--by this series of events.
6. Did you noticed through Olisaurus’ and Montilou’s behavior, a will to disband Walmart Co.?
Through the fact that Olisaurus was bragging about the bankruptcy of Walmart I believe that at least one of them had a will to do this. What I am noticing, if I am going to be frank, is that Montilou was a lot smarter about this than Oli was.
7. Some of you in the DEC ticket categorized this activity as corporate espionnage. On what are you basing this appreciation?
I refuse to call it that. The definition of corporate espionage is as follows:
"Any parties participating in, or accessory to the gathering, infiltration, or compromise of any sensitive company information that has not already been released to the public under the instruction of the company's controlling interest."
No company information was released to the public. I would say it is more akin to fraud due to it being dishonest for them to say they were unaware of the wall having been put there for construction and they most certainly obtained something of value as a result. You could even make a frivolous argument that this was market manipulation by virtue of that law's definition:
"Any act to artificially inflate or deflate the value of a company or stock for personal gain."
They sought to deflate the value of Walmart through the mass selling of obsidian and enchantment tables in order to financially gain off their loss.
QUESTIONS FOR ME:
- Have Walgreen been impacted by this activity?
No. They have not targeted Walgreens because it is difficult to find things you can profit on by selling to me on the basis that I basically am the server's wholesaler.
2. Can you assume that the defendants admitted that he drove this activity in a malicious way?\
Without a shadow of a doubt. Bragging about the activity in global chat is not a sign of innocence.
3. Based on your discussion with Olisaurus, did the defendant want to act lawfully, or did he ask a way to gain the access to the chest shops?
He was very clearly asking me if he has the legal right to take things from the chest shop as a result of having taken the company name.
