I will post the announcement I had the misfortune to need to make on the forums of TheNightblades, a linkshell I co-lead.
Do not trust Nakanami. It is not wise.
I very much regret to inform you all of this, but it must be said. You all deserve to know.
Tonight, you have been betrayed most terribly. I will tell the story as objectively as I can, even with how upset I am about it. The situation follows.
--------------------
When Ellion took his break from the game, he entrusted a little over a third of the Nightblades gil (and a Haubergeon he sold his Sniper Rings for) to Nakanami. This gil, as you all know, was a gift from Atycia to be used to benefit the entire linkshell.
Nakanami had neglected to give the gil back to Ellion after Ell made his return, repeatedly brushing off the requests for a week or more.
Tonight, I confronted Nakanami to have all of your gil returned to its rightful owners: all of you. That is what Atycia intended; the gil was for all of you Nightblades to benefit from.
After an hour of needless negotiation with Nakanami to return the gil, he finally said he would give it to Arora, because he trusted her. (Why he didn't trust me is neither here nor there, at this point.) He said he would meet her and give it to her tonight, saying, and I quote "I'm coming to give it to her right now".
Arora and I waited in Windurst Walls for him.
Then, I got a tell.
Nakanami dropped the Haubergeon and gave away all of your gil.
(Or, alternately, kept the gil and said he gave it away to a stranger. I cannot be certain.)
Ellion no longer has a Haubergeon.
We all no longer have 681,300 G.
Ellion still has the rest of Atycia's gift; it is not a complete loss.
But it is a large one. I am very distraught right now; I worked so hard to try and get him to give it back to you all, and all for nothing.
Do not trust Nakanami. It is not wise.
