[Congress] Show me the money!
Ilene Dover
Hello America! I write to you today as a proud member of the Socialist Freedom Party and as one of your elected Congress Representatives.
The observant amongst you will have noticed something strange with our treasury balance over the past 12 hours. I refer, of course, to this:
How, in the name of all that is holy, did we end up with a negative balance in treasury? And this in one of the highest taxed countries in the eWorld?!
The answer is contained on the eUSA forums. It is scattered across several threads on different boards. This article is intended to put the whole sordid story in one location, visible to all eUS citizens.
Most of the story is contained in this thread. It's in the public domain, so feel free to drop in and read the whole thing.
To begin with, a few days ago, Avruch broached a story about Oblige, late of the USAF command, having his account hacked and a sizeable amount of money stolen.
Note that the forum times written are my local time (UTC+8 ), with dates in a format I find intelligible (DD-MM-YYYY).
Some speculation followed on how, exactly, Ray of Sunshine went about the heist. At this point, the first mention of the WTP Whalefare portal is made.
The speculation ended when we heard the news from the horse's mouth, so to speak:
Anyone not in WTP at this point was thoroughly confused as to what "WTP points" are, how they convert to money and all the rest. Luckily Ray of Sunshine continued his helpful explanations:
You could be forgiven for wondering what all this has to do with a negative treasury balance. Well, once Congress got wind of the issue it turns out that 1.53 million CC has been deducted from treasury as as result of a "hacked account". A message was sent to our President, Melissa Rose from Plato advising as such.
Courtesy of Ms Rose:
Nope, that still doesn't explain a negative balance. Perhaps this will...
Just yesterday, Dinnyin proposed to transfer 400,000 CC to the CBO. That is, the Org that your government uses to fund all the programs that we all take for granted. Money in treasury isn't actually that useful, beyond signing MPPs.
And in his own words:
And there we have it. There is still some conjecture as to whether all 1.53 million CC from Oblige ended in the treasury (since 1.53 million was deducted). That
In perhaps the only good news of the whole saga:
Ladies and gents, I am, as I hope always to be, proud to show you your Congress in action.

voted, subbed, and thank you.
You're most welcome. Thank you for reading! 🙂
so why am I being criticized (I increased the tax base at least)...
Because you love pissing people off George
do you want me to leave the SPF?
Where did that come from? Dont ask me that i am a peon. But the fact remains you enjoy pissing people off.
Interesting story. Luckily it are only pixels in a game. All will be resolved. 😉
Hey Ilene, I like you.
Um, thanks? ☺️
Sure.
I saw her first, Dude....
It is more about who she likes to see. 😉
Excellent work Ilene....
Go Ilene!
This is the type of stuff I want to see from my elected officials.
The whale use the automated system to distribute cash and got himself screwed. That's not a hacked account and the money should have been left right where it was. On top of that, ray of sunshine has been banned. Good job oblige. Keep pulling those strings. Make those admins dance.
its an exploit and all accounts involved with it should be banned. the entire usaf. or do you guys dont know you can t use bots in game.
You have no idea what the topic is apparently. This isn't even close to being about the USAF anymore. This is about Oblige's Whalefare program for WTP. If you don't know what you're talking about, please don't talk at all.
still an exploit used to fund his soldiers which they know about. it was reported i will press them for action.
you cannot automate actions . it gives you an advantage over another account and mu and country. i have reported bots successfully before they were perma banned. even if you claim its part of the api we will ask that an admin look at it closely. if its an exploit everyone must receive some kind of ban.
it cannot be on the api alone you get points for clicking on an external forum and login into an external forum. AP is not capable of that therefore its an exploit end of story.
FIST
YOU CANT MAKE THIS SHIT UP.
Great work. We are lucky to have you. Thank you!
BIG SCAM 😃
Want buy some weapons?
I Sell 😃 And i buy to 😃
I actually enjoy your articles, keep it up!
Thanks! If a writer doesn't tell you they enjoy "hearing" that then they're a liar. 🙂
If you keep reading, I'll keep writing.
Nice article.
Thanks, but I thought you'd have more to say, if I'm honest.
Money was stolen. The admins were generous and returned it. Sort of an open and shut case.
The complication with the treasury was unfortunate, but shouldn't have any real impact on us.
Who stole it? Your account was not logged in to by any other person, from what you've said.
Sunshine stole it. As he admitted.
hmmm DID sunshine steal it? You see, sunshine has 500k in cash and another 1 mil in gold and companies.... soooooo it's all covered.... right?
He doesn't though 🙂
American elitists ruin this country for years, sitting on easy 15/15 resources and gaining easy money. Yet, AFA is still declared as a national threat although we respect American laws without exception, from the time when Cipelići had left the country.
No one has mentioned you guys for months. I have no problem with you all since you aren't trying to take over the country by bringing in foreigners.
Can't bring in foreigners when you're not in Congress.....
I see many people who say that they don't see AFA as a threat anymore, but still, the Congress law forbids AFA members to qualify for the Congress. That's what I talk about.
Sunshine's writing style is very familiar.
You think I'm Ray of Sunshine??! Not a chance...
No, I didn't mean you.
That account is multi, Ilene stopped playing the game since her CP term in Australia two months ago. She gave her account to someone out of our community, why not to Sunshine?
You're a dangerous man J. Why would you write such a thing?
Not a multi, nice to see that you believe so 😁
Who's then?
Who are you?
😛
Thanks Obama...
