FWIW, that's what my email chain was like, except I got bounced between 3 people, including (I think), ol' Racist Roy Roocroft himself. Otherwise, same form letters.

I'm glad I got my money back so I could spend it on overpriced plastic in two forms: gunpla & a keyset for my keyboard. Because even that level of completely extraneous spending is smarter than leaving it with Crobbler.

It's a reddit thread from 2014, linking to a youtube video where Ben talks to Batgirl about the grey market that I'm not going to watch.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Starcitizen_trades/comments/24immx/ben_lesnick_on_the_grey_market/



Star Citizen Addicts Anonymous - Ben's Missing Interview
Apr 30, 2014
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ltsWAUvVL_c



Q:
Talk about the CIG policy on gifting

Ben:
So the changes which are taking effect tomorrow, May 1st, there's going to be a 30 day wait period for NEW ACCOUNTS, this should not apply to any existing citizens, if you are an existing citizen you can go ahead and get things... but 30 day wait period to make sure that we don't have scammers creating fake accounts and laundering ships. The second big thing that is gonna affect a lot of people at least for a little while is a single gift limit starting May 1st. So you can gift a ship once and then it's locked to that account.


Q:
You have all said at different points that once the game goes live this 'outside of the game' way of moving ships around will be gone anyway, is that true?

Ben:
That's absolutely correct, that's always been the intention.


Q:
Will there be an 'inside the game' galactic market where we can sell ships at some point?

Ben:
Absolutely we will be as immersive as possible. Used space car lots and this sort of thing.


Q:
This grey market, we've been talking about it for the 8 months I've been involved. How bad has it gotten in terms of what customer service have to deal with?

Ben:
Basically there was a straw that broke the camel's back in this instance where there was one of these trusted middle-men traders who it turned out was taking advantage of everyone and there was a whole spiderweb of things to undo and we just said 'enough is enough', we need to change this policy for now. This is as draconian as the gifting limits will be ever, we are talking about basically a way to reduce this, we have a new web system that Turbulent is going to be developing - I can't give details yet - but we know about the situations were people would legitimately need to gift something more than once, all these CONTESTS, these people want to SHARE ships, all the things that basically build the Star Citizen community and culture, and I actually sat down with Ally and Chelsea and we came up with a list of all the situations that are coming up and we said to Turbulent yesterday, 'this is all the stuff we need to figure out', so that's all in process right now.


Q:
Where can people post suggestions on what the processes should be in the future?

Ben:
Hit up General Chat, if it's something you don't want the world to see, maybe you're one of those GREY MARKET TRADERS feel free to PM me, no judgement here... and we know that some of these people have been legitimately trying to help make Star Citizen a success, there are lots of middle men who are helping people get what they want, they're not taking anything, it's just... a few BAD APPLES.


Q:
With new ships coming out all the time I don't know if LTI is going to mean anything in 18 months time?

Ben:
Let me stress again, LTI, not a big deal. Do not risk your hundreds of dollars or do not pay a premium for it, it's a little reward for our earliest backers, it's not a game changer.


Q:
Someone said that somewhere on the RSI website Chris announced that it would be allowed for people to steal corporation funds - say a corporation has a bank and it has a lot of money in it and it has a lot of ships, that it would be possible for somebody to infiltrate you like a double agent and leave with all your stuff.

Ben:
I've heard this... um... I think it's one of those situations where people take something Chris is thinking about, they spin it into the worst possible thing and then it's a big deal to everybody. But Chris is absolutely thinking about ways that people can be INFILTRATORS, they can steal INFORMATION, they can, you know... SABOTAGE SYSTEMS, that's all in a very early system right now, we're NOT coming up with a way for people to steal your ships you paid hundreds of dollars for. I don't think we know how corporate funds are going to work yet so we have not come up with a system were people are going to steal... there should not be a situation were people steal actual money from one another, that's not what this game is about.

Chris has a very pure vision and when he wants to add a feature it's because he thinks it's going to be more immersive or cool, it's not because it's a way to scam people or hurt them or anything like that.



Q:
We know that DFM is coming in two weeks, but the other piece we've all been waiting for is the second drop of the organization system, is that soon after DFM in your opinion?

Ben:
I would say that's going to be soon BEFORE DFM. At least multi-orgs, in fact they are in QA right now and we are hoping for a roll out next week and if we miss it I'm sorry.

Also to that dude who responded to you questioning why there's no VAT on the refund of the whale,
VAT has only been charged since end 2015 to 2016 or so. Before that all euro pledges where vat free as well.

I would write it myself but I really don't feel like creating a reddit alt in the middle of the night.

To be perfectly fair I could probably fake that as well with greasemonkey, or a host file redirect, or some clever editing, but welcome to the post-factual society where the only things that are true are the things that we want to believe are true.
