Shintaht, Providence – The resettlement of Providence being lead by Against All Authorities [AAA] has continued over the past two weeks with roughly a dozen systems changing sovereignty from the Providence Holders to several new small alliances entering the region.

Manfred Sideous of AAA commented on his Alliance’s previously announced plans for the region, stating that “this has been an ongoing campaign where we are removing Curatores Veritatis Alliance [CVA] and most of the holders from Providence… to return to the status quo with Providence residents as sparring partners… when we are totally done… there will be over 20 alliances residing in Providence.”

Agony Empire is one of the new alliances that entered the region, currently holding sovereignty in five systems. Christina Bamar reports that “we were living in Syndicate when we were contacted by AAA asking if we were interested in maybe getting involved in Providence. We typically don’t bother with sovereignty wars, but the circumstances were unique enough for us to agree. We moved down, started killing things and then took sovereignty, not really anything too notable [as we] didn’t get any resistance… some small gang action here and there, but CVA and friends never contested our [entry into the region].” More >

5C-RPA, Insmother – Following the recent loss of a Consortium. alliance freighter containing a Minmatar Service Outpost Platform, details have emerged of an internal conflict between founding corporations and other members of the alliance.

Previously, current Consortium. Alliance leader Shmak DatAsh claimed that his fellow alliance leader attempted to seize control of the alliance after the loss. “[R0ck Muncher] saw this as an opportunity to take over and attempted to, but failed… I considered R0ck Muncher a good friend of mine and everyone in his corp, [but] being backstabbed by him and his corp hurt.”

Following these allegations, R0ck Muncher, a founding member of the alliance, commented on the supposed “coup”. He said he started a vote to become CEO of the holding corporation, effectively giving him command of the alliance, which may have sparked the rumour. This gave his corporation 24 hours to remove all of their assets from the area in relative safety from the remaining alliance members.

bugs 11, an ex member of Consortium. confirmed that R0ck Muncher had not attempted to take over the alliance but was trying to protect his members. bugs 11 said he felt Consortium. was disintegrating and did not believe matters would improve.

Litiura – Caldari Funds Unlimited CEO Jaan Omura was taken into custody this morning by investigators from the Caldari Business Tribunal on charges of treason, espionage, fraud, and embezzlement. The arrests accompanied a continuing investigation into financial malfeasance at the State’s largest independent bank.

A Tribunal release laid out the charges against Omura, which stem from a series of “unusual financial transactions” between accounts registered to Omura at Caldari Funds Unlimited, the State and Region Bank, the Garoun Investment Bank, and a number of other smaller financial institutions in the State, Federation, and the Intaki Syndicate. In addition, the Tribunal also stated that Omura had been documented meeting with known Gallente agents on at least four separate occasions, and that her personal clearances had been used to access a number of low-level House of Records databases.

Reaction from the Caldari megacorporations has generally been in the form of shock. Indications appear to be that few people outside the CBT saw this investigation and the subsequent arrests coming before rumors began to leak out earlier this month. Both Kaalakiota and the Directorate have declined to comment, but Wiyrkomi CEO Kuruta Irio demanded that the Tribunal hand over their initial findings to the Chief More >
