It appears that a former Jagex employee has stolen rather a lot of in-game-currency from several players of the long-running MMORPG Runescape, with the news confirmed late last week by the developer. According to an official statement released by the Cambridge-based studio, an employee from the Old School team was dismissed from their position while a more detailed investigation, this time in cooperation with the police, is in full swing.

Over on ResetEra, the unknown man is accused of having stolen enormous amounts of in-game gold from players, as well as having access to people's security information (although Jagex denies that personal information was compromised). There are even allegations that tournaments were rigged to the benefit of a clan he was associated with. There's a lot of speculation on the forum and it seems like the studio is yet to get a full handle on the extent of the criminal activity.
