As everyone knows by now, a number of players have been the victim of a scam perpetrated by Willclo, and have lost a great deal of money. I was given permission to run a fundraiser for the victims of the crime, and here is why. For months, Willclo has been paying me to build one of the most expensive towns on the server. I had no idea where all the money was coming from, but now I know. So I opened a fund to be distributed to the victims of this scam, and I made the first donation. You see, a week or two ago, Willclo made me co-owner of the town I was building, and didn't tell me why. Phys tells me that means I own it, and can do with it what I will.

So this was the first donation to the fundraiser.
The town is Main_ville. Portal is at towns6, gold, coal.
This is how it looked on the day the fraud was discovered:

I am continuing to strip the town of valuable building materials, and am donating the proceeds to the players harmed by Willclo. Once I'm done, I will auction what's left of the town itself to the highest bidder.

In fact, here's a screenshot from that same angle as of 6/7/15, 12:53 a.m. Eastern, before I stripped the quartz out of the town square:


The 30-story glass skyscraper will remain intact. Glass takes forever to demolish, and it's basically a giant block of crystal. So "what's left" at auction includes the entire undamaged skyscraper.

Further, the auction will include the following heads, which were owned by Willclo and mounted on the front of his house: @Jrg5978, @usernameofdeath, and willclo himself.


You can buy building materials here (portal at towns6, gold, coal). Prices are set at one-half to two-thirds the price of the same block at Hiccabup's shop in blue market:


Or you can donate anonymously here, in any amount from $250 to $128,000:

9. @jmichael214: $137,000 (cash)
10. @Krobkins: $100,000
11. @Nicit6: $85,800
12. (tie) @Ladyvamptress: $50,000
12. (tie) @Mission001: $50,000
12. (tie) @Smorezs: $50,000

I have spoken with Phys about how the money should be distributed to the players harmed. I will be distributing the money directly to the players, and see the second post for specifics.

I sold all the ores and gems to the server, and got more than $110,000 for them:


I am carrying all donations in my balance until the fundraiser is over, and I donated all the cash in my balance at the moment of discovery, as it was Willclo money to be used to buy building materials (this screenshot is not the up-to-date balance):


More pictures of the town to be liquidated in the second post.

Yes, I have to go to bed now. Portal at towns6, gold, coal. Town of Main_ville.

Also, if there's any way to do it -- there are loan signs in the portal building, up on the walls. Maybe some of those players who won't have to be paying that back can donate the money he loaned?
