So basically this line describes that it's an inside job
"Flan_Hill transferred enough of his shares in the corporation to the infiltrator to enable a call for a vote for a new CEO"
Every CEO knows not to give shares away. The only reason to give other people shares is so that they can intentionally take over in case you die IRL and don't want to trap assets.
"The one aspect of the story that some redditors took issue with is the origin of the 1,000 shares in Event Horizon Expeditionaries that made this theft possible in the first place. Some redditors theorized that Flam_Hill is actually the long-departed founder of the corporation, who's been sitting with those shares in his personal wallet for years;
Absolutely possible
"others said they may have purchased a character from a member of the corporation who forget to remove the shares from their wallet before transferring ownership."
They're not supposed to have shares before being sold in the Bazaar, maybe RMT?
So what's the deal with the OP?
