Florida Attorney General issues subpoena to IGE
Filed under: Business models, Culture, Economy, MMO industry, Legal
While it's not a part of the ongoing case of Hernandez v IGE, a newly announced legal action by the AG for the state of Florida will probably be of interest to you. The Attorney General issued an investigative subpoena against the notorious gold-selling outfit today, seeking information on possible illegal activities carried out within the state (and across the country). The Florida Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act was invoked, and the 'investigative' nature of the subpoena means that company records relating to everything from marketing to organizational elements are now to be included in the state's inquiry.The subpoena seeks financial and sales information, the identity of specific World of Warcraft accounts owned or controlled by IGE, the identity of World of Warcraft accounts that IGE has power leveled, and the IP addresses IGE used to log into World of Warcraft to distribute products sold by IGE. The subpoena also seeks documents which show all websites owned or controlled by IGE or its affiliates at any time.

I can't wait till Blizzard gets its hands on this list and realizes it's best DBA's and developers have been doing business with IGE behinds its back.
