Explanation of the trade: User was a long time employee and builder for GZ AIO. He had a large order in which upon us completing the accounts and getting ready for sale, 50 accounts were registered and the password was changed. Furthermore, user claimed to rebuild them for free at the cost of the logins + gold. We provided 1b instead of the full amount requested (2.5b) and user stole 925m/1b and exitted. The only people with access to that account was GZ AIO owners (me and my co owner) as well as the accused.

User acknowledged the scam and blamed his "worker" for the scam and thus offered the reimbursement of free labor. With suspicions user was exitting, we provided him 1b which the majority of was stolen as well.

How they scammed: Stole gp + Ran off with 50 completed accounts. Offered to rebuild them starting with 25 free of cost and only cost of supplies, but user stole the gp for this and ran off.

TLDR Translation:
Ask: RuneMerchant wants to build 25 accounts but insists on preloading GP on every account before starting—initially 100m each, later says 80m each, covering bonds, supplies, and quests.
Reasoning: Claims last time he waited 7–10 days for GP and multiple trades raise ban risk, so wants one upfront top-up per account; then he’ll hire workers and start within 24 hours.
Conflict: You (God) say you already paid, want him to start now and you’ll add GP as needed. He refuses; says finish GP on all accounts first.
Extras: Mentions Zezima, says there was remaining GP last time (you dispute it), and that Zezima threatened a Sythe report (he blocked him).
Standoff: RuneMerchant won’t start until all GP is loaded per account; you won’t preload due to RWT ban risk / GP shortage and want work to begin immediately. (Risk mitigation strategy so the accused does not gain access to more wealth to scam which proved useful.)

From the DMs and ghosting/blocking, it can clearly be seen that user has exit scammed. After checking his social media accounts which he has shared with us, he was seen buying some expensive products such as a new IPhone which wouldn't be possible off the sole work he had with us after paying his workers. The only reasonable outcome would be he stole those accounts after we had completed them (Pures with POH + Infernal + Quiver, etc) and off loaded them to one of the Paki account dumpers such as Jimsky or RPGStash, etc.

User also removed his KYC from the server when we did not notice (his irl photo verification + IRL ID card/passport photo).

Face removed photo of him purchasing an Iphone 14 (according to the box) which would be a minimum of $700 or so. User would make 2-3k every 2-3 months and worked exclusively with us. After paying his workers, this would not be possible with his living expenses (He told us what his costs were before so we knew how much he was making and how much he paid his workers, ~60% is what he would pocket, from which he still had to cover IRL utilities and such. He is unemployed IRL and lives off RS.) He has also been on vacation for weeks since the scam as well as blowing tons off money - he has been posting it on whatsapp/social media.

Sorry for the delay.

To start, @EliteRune has been issued a DNT for evading his ban on @RuneMerchant (discord UID match).


Regarding the hijacked accounts:
I did not see that @RuneMerchant admitted to stealing the accounts or his workers stealing the accounts, but instead he states that if he found any evidence that his workers had the accounts he would notify you. Given the above and the fact that you stated multiple people had access to the accounts - we would not be able to hold @RuneMerchant liable with the evidence provided.

Regarding the missing wealth:
It is also not possible for staff to determine exactly who removed the wealth from the new account, as the account credentials for the mule that was holding the wealth was provided in what appears to be a ticket in your server with multiple users (assuming it was yourself, your co-owner and the accused).


If you have any additional evidence you can make a new report, but if the evidence provided here is all you have there is unfortunately nothing further that we can do here.
