The PBC officer picked up the phone. "So? Is it arranged?"

"It is done", replied a sinister voice. "The deal is arranged. We couldn't haggle though."

Incompetent fool thought the CEO. "That's too bad. Well done still. We will see the results shortly."

He prepared to wire 100 million USD in M€ to a secret account in Noobia.

Tag, pending answer

The minister of special relations looked at the man in front of him.
"I gave them the bank account number you told me. Now could you sign the papers allowing Pink Bunny Cola to be imported into Vegana? I imagine the people will like it."

The man on the other side nodded and signed the papers, giving The Pink Bunny Cola corporation the right to export Pink Bunny Cola from Knootoss into Vegana. This deal would probably create thousands of jobs for the Knootians. The man thought as he signed the papers. But then again, all that money...

The man watched the screen. "Sir we cannot confirm the money being picked up as we do not control the account we may only confirm a transaction has been made."

"Good, but you logged it all?"

"Yes sir"

"Well then, make a file of it, copy it and send it to these adresses. And when you're at it... Have a Pink Bunny Cola!"

The minister of special relations started to make the necessary phonecalls.

"Yes, We're astonished too! Just pure luck that we snatched up the information. Well you can never be sure with such a capitalistic immoral nation. Yes you're right, they probably have something to gain from it. "

Minister Fielden made a few more calls very much like that and then leaned back, pouring himself a cognac.

"Yes, We're astonished too! Just pure luck that we snatched up the information. Well you can never be sure with such a capitalistic immoral nation. Yes you're right, they probably have something to gain from it. "


"I don´t believe it."
"But..."

The two men stood in a bureau in the 115th floor of the ABC building. One was obviously the superior.

"It cannot be. They ain`t that... well, stupid. No, This is a fake. You noticed the source? I do not trust them. Nobody does."
"Well..."
"And GET OUT before i get really angry."

The sound of the door being closed could be heard in the whole floor.

"You made sure the account is untracable?"

"Yes Sir, It'll look harmless enough. The 100 million has been wired first to the nation of Ballotonia, then various accounts in allies such as Valinon and then to Der Angst. Finally it has been transferred to Noobia. I assure you it is very secure and cursory investigation will only reveal the trace to that private bank in Der Angst.

The money was wired in small amounts over various accounts. Really, it should be untracable.

"Getting it back?"

"Possible if needed, but it would require time and some pressure on their bank. Shouldn't be a problem but we would risk exposure."

At the first sign of leaks, several accounts which had first deposited the money becan withdrawing the deposits made.

"Too bad, it would have been a nice opportunity", commented a PBC executive dryly. "Fortunately these Reich people were foolish enough to start leaking within 30 days."

OOC: I understand you being pissed for getting conned into paying the Lavenrunzian Christian -Nationalists secret account 100 millions dollars. But this WAS a planned sting operation, with the logs to prove it. As I wrote, we checked for the transaction to be complete and frankly, you cannot withdraw money from other peoples accounts. I thought you would take it as the highly accomplished RP we all know you to be.

OOC: okok, that last one is rectonned. I did not know yet ICly. I will try to withdraw money when I know ICly you leaked. And I believe there is a standing legal case if you do not honour said contract.

And for the IRC people still in doubt:
PBC IS NOT KNOOTOSS: it is not owned by Knootoss and corporate decisions are not Knootian foreign policy. There are a bunch of factories in Knootoss and the executive board is more-or-less controlled by Knootians. The PBC headquarters is also a regional HQ, it is owned by The Bunny King. FYI, the Bunny King is a giant pink rabbit. With big teeth.

((OOC: small note added to that. I was already pissed when I posted this. And under the impression that the Reich was working ICly with the hack in some plot to unveil PBC. Which was, well, kinda ridicilous.

Still, I retain that the acocount should be impossible to trace because we arranged it so. (Using all sorts of clever banking tricks or whatever. Knootoss is supposedly good at Information Technology.) In return, I'll concede that it was in fact a christian nationalist account. Someting I challenge, because I chose Noobia in the first place so it should make that theoretically impossible. Then we have a workable exchange or realities IMHO.))

*sells PBC to the Reich*

ooc: btw, Lunar Rheinland = DA. Was logged in with the wrong nation, for whatever reason.

Oh, and...

*sells PBC to the Reich*

Not you, PBC.

Yes, PBC sells PBC to the Reich. I was "RPing" for PBC there. :roll:

The wonderful nation of Vegana denies all knowledge of a bribe being sent from Knootoss to the Christian-Nationalists of Lavenrunz secret bank account in Noobia and this resulting in Pink Bunny Cola being marketed within the Reich.

We have No Further Comments at this moment

Veganas Press attache hurried away from all the press gathered at the press conference.

The editor of the news agency listend attentively in the phone.

"You're saying they're denying it? They're up to something, this smells really fishy. Have you checked out the files we received? And they were solid? This IS interesting. Knootoss using one of their decoys to pay Mirbach 100 million Menelmacari Credits. Check it out some more before we let it fly. We don't want a Kiwi on our hands"

"Ok, ok..."
"You`re apologizing?"
"Yes. After the last Veganian statement... But i still think it`s a Reich plot."
"But i can investigate?" The young man looked hopefully.
"Yes. Yes, you can. But be careful. I do not want this paper to become the joke of the nation."
"Sure. Well, See ya." The young man, a reporter, left the office, and headed down the building. He had inquiries to make, interviews to do, he had to check this out...

This could be a really big thing.

Grr. Argh. Doublepost.

The logo flashed in dazzling color. It was another North Hack News extravaganza! After all, North Hack News is far more interesting than real news!

It was reported today that the Dutch Democratic Republic of Knootoss, or, the DDRK (pronounced: "Dork") has been funneling money into the enemy of SATO, Lavenrunz. More specifically, the fire-and-brimstone, death-to-the-evil-doers rebels that are currently in control of Lavenrunz and are attempting to ally it with the Reich.

When asked for comments about the Dork situation, no credible governmental officals could be found to give an official comment. However, Dargan Zarrad, of the Office of Unofficial Official Statements was hear to say, "Get that microphone away from me you freaks!" as well as, "Eh, sounds like they got flim-flamed. Shit happens."

Should the allegations against Dork turn out to be accurate, it could have wide ranging ramifications, as the Reich and SATO are traditional allies. It may also have dire effects on their membership in the WBO, as, according to an unnamed SeOCC official, "SATO and the WBO are the same thing."

Further updates on the Dork situation as events warrent! Stay tuned to North Hack News. It's more entertaining than the real news!

((OOC: lol

*ahem* This isn't boycotting your RP thingy, but untill there is something that we'll simply have to reply to PBC will say absolutely nothing. Often the wisest thing to do in such situations))

OOC: hehe no problems. Silence can easily be interpreted as guilt as any PR-consult would tell you ;-)

OOC: Yes, but so far nobody cares...

A high-profile reporter from RFPI (Really Free Press, Inc), based in Carvajal, Santa Barbara, poses the following question to the Knootian government.

"What is your response regarding the recent allegations of PBC, a Knootoss-based company, diverting one hundred million in USD to Lavenruz-based Christian Nationalist bank accounts funding the pro-Reich movement?

He stood at the bar, considerably drunk. It had begun, and he had exactly Zero evidence.

I need to find out where the money came from, and where it went... But Damnit, there are just too many... no, wait...

The idea struck him like a lightning. IOt wasn`t a big chance... as a matter of fact, the chance of success was just above zero... perhaps below...

But he had to try it.

Half an hour later, he asked a good friend to get the information...

DA banks are known for not giving out secrets, no matter what, SeOCC officials would surely agree, however, there is always a chance to get the information by not so legal ways...

His friend, employed by the ANB, gave him the answers he needed. Well, after a while, since it took about an hour to explain what he wanted... his slurring speech wasn`t exactly useful. The old video he had of his friend and a prostitute, however, was fairly useful... At least in this case, since the ANB is one of the most moral companies in DA.

After another hour of discussions and not exactly hidden blackmailing, his friend said the single word he waited for: 'Yes.'

"They did what?", asked the Director of Corporate Service, interested in the matter. "According to this foreign journalist the cola company," press officer Mariksen snickered, finding it all very amusing, "...funded the Christian Nationalist bank accounts, thusly funding the pro-Reich movement. Cola... funding Reich insurgents. Really, these gutter press journalists are getting more ridiculous all the time."

"Really?", the Director asked.

"Let me give you an example. Without any lead one called me up and asked me if our Prime Minister was pregnant. I told him it was nonsense, and the next day the heading was 'Lousewies fiercely denies pregnancy'.", he shook his head.

The Director nodded. "Very funny. But if you'll excuse me I have a phone call to make."

"Better check this out", he thought as he walked back to his office. From there, he called the Pink Bunny Cola Headquarters directly...



The Knootian government has no knowledge of such allegations and has not seen evidence to confirm or deny them. Thusly, we cannot comment on them.

Furthermore, we would like to note that it is not customary for us to comment on business deals in the private sector at all unless the government is involved in some way. Doing so would unduly influence the free market's workings.



OOC: *thanks SB for asking this without having any proof, giving PBC some early warning and huggles his 'pro-business government'.*
*Thinks DA's journalists access is awfully convenient but hey ;)*

-Did you look at the request?
-Of course.
-What do you think?
-It would put us in an awkward position if we were to carry forth. Then again, it is most intriguing, is it not? We didn't suspect that activity coming from them.
-So what can we do?
-With permission, we can pass it along to one who may be more eager with our involvement minimized and yet still play a hand.
-Indeed. Send out these two messages immediately. We do believe an answer to be forthcoming which will determine our next move.
-As you command.
