Corruption? Mikey1408Mouse
Through out the years, a lot of players accused a moderator of corruption. Recently however, the actions of the supposable corrupted mod has been greatly damaging.

It started when Spine killed ReverandHo, who had 500mil on his account. Everyone thought it was a coincidence, or a back stab at that time. but it didn't end there. Rich accounts, actually from the look of it, the richest accounts on BL started dying. Some, if not all of them, seemed to be getting killed by Spine. It looks like Spine has a list of the richest players on Bootleggers and is shooting them.

On Tuesday 13th of June ij0rdan and his crew went to war with The Clerecuzio (TC). One of the shooters was Celena, who shot a few bankers. On Celena's profile it says "TRF shooting TC", but some of those accounts where not related to TC. When I asked ij0rdan about it, he said he has no idea who Celena is and has to nothing do with him/her. He also told me that he lost one of his bankers. "Someone else, probably Spine, shot the other players." True or not something is definitely wrong!

According to Mos (AKA Moskin) & Mackin (AKA MackinDeluxe), they lost around one billion in total. Even crews lost some of its holders (no not dupes or "family accounts". I asked Kinky, Sempre Famiglia boss if they lost any bankers or rich related friends, his answer was "In the last lot of killing we lost one friend of the crew but we do not have holders with large amounts due to the killings of late. Also bullet holders we have many as one or two seem to have the same problem they get shoot and all our bullets gone." When asked if he thinks a moderator is involved Kinky replied, "I heard someone is dirty but I'm not sure who"

According to CarlitoGII, Revelation boss, Revelation also lost a few holders. CarlitoGII also said "Dirty moderatirs feeding info about holders to Spine which is on the BoS list." But can that be true or can it be just one big coincidence? I asked Air if moderatirs can see the richest players on Bootleggers or not he said, "A Moderator can see any account information." He also commented on the allegation of a Moderator giving out information. "In terms of the allegations at an EG member handing the information out to a regular player, only research from the Admins will prove it to be true. Until that happens they are only rumors and shouldn't be considered anything else until that happens."

When I asked Andy if he thought all richest accounts dying all around is normal he answered saying, "It's not usual but attempting to explain it as members of staff giving away information is naive, especially when it's more likely that people have been backstabbing each other, which is the usual case on BL." He also said, "I seriously doubt any member of staff would give anyone information that they shouldn't, never mind someone who is banned on sight. Particularly due to the fact that the rumors are so widespread now that if it was true then the member of staff involved would be either easy to catch or would have shut up due to suspicion. I also doubt that someone is hacking their way into the database too, as if they did have access to it then I would suspect it would be easily traceable and that they could do more damage than just looking who has got what money."

I also asked Shaggerty about it, but he refused to comment. For me it sounds very weird that bankers are dying all over.

Maybe its actually moderators which is what most people believe. Maybe it's as Andy said, just backstabbing. I know for sure though that some people lost bankers than no one knew but them.

Hopefully Admins will find out whats going on soon. If it's a corrupted moderator then he certainly needs to be on the BoS list, this mod has given a bad names to the rest of them. It's also making the game quite unfair, this is a whole new level of cheating. If it's not a moderator then whoever of us players thought so was totally unfair to the mods.
