Well, something shady is going on. Privacy is a very important thing. And, some actions through a computer, however not physical, can result in a criminal offense! If those cross national borders then it can be an even bigger offense. It is very interesting what I am finding out talking to the RiGHT people!
I have quit the game completely because there are problems with this game. I am also doing what I have to to safeguard my family and my personal assets. This investigation is not over, even if BFG does not want to do anything about it. Sometimes you have to go a little over their heads.
Have Fun!
Here are some facts
A player under the fake identity of Wingman ask to join AA, we failed to check is identity and we accepted him. This happened 3-4 days ago
One player decided to quit and there was the normal accounts upgrade, Quinn Dexter got a new account (now is Q. D.) and Wingman got the account of Quinn Dexter (this after he lost his fleet to Salty)
Matrem Gremio Canis (Darth Fides) is hit by AA and claims was a p mode failure and start chatting with both me and Andy. Ithink it's possible and think BFG should change it. Andy tells him that he believes there is something in the game code.
Darth Fides keep saying that someone is hacking accounts. To make a point he send this message to Andy in Skype and a PM

Andy
This is no joke. Kick out Quinn Dexter now. Someone has hacked my account. I have three people who have accessed my account and Quinn Dexter came up. The access has happened more than once and happened in the last 24 hours.
The person using that account might be innocent, but they may have also been hacked. Please, if you trust them then let them know that someone hacked into my account and using the Quinn Dexter account.
I am probably quitting this game completely as this also has given access to my computer. But, do this soon!
Andy is pretty concerned, and starts making checks, gets someone to double check Wingman identity (remember Quinn Dexter account was given to Wingman, no name change), and the result is that someone is pretending to be the real Wingman.
A simple IP check from Skype ID shows that both the fake Wingman and Darth Fides are using the same IP address, further checks also show that the IP address does not belong to a phone company.
This is the Skype message that Darth Fides sent to Andy
“But, someone has somehow logged into BFG into more than one account using the same IP address I have. I only have one and I have not used any others. I guess this is not someone in my computer necessarily. But, Jason mentioned Quinn Dexter who is in your alliance and this has happened more than once over a period of time.”
I will let everybody draw their own conclusions based on the above facts, and the supplied screenshots(edit: they are being removed per andy. BFG can get the smoking gun upon request) showing identical IP addresses of both the Darth Fides and our newest spy.
Some might describe Fides story as a nice scapegoat to take away from (s)ecret spies and an attempt to get his fleet back by BFG. I'm shocked I was such a bad judge of character, i respected Fides.
