I just had the unpleasant task of shrubbing Tamale, Ryntha, Caboose, and
several of their alts. They discovered a bug that let them create large
amounts of gold, and rather than reporting it to us they chose to
exploit it. We have numerous mechanisms in place to detect and track
such things, so it was just a matter of time before we caught them. I
have already recovered about 95% of the illicit gold, and we will be
methodically tracking down the rest in the next few days.

If you recently received gold from Tamale, Ryntha, Caboose, or Mikita,
or through someone else but you think it came from their exploitation of
this bug, now is your chance to turn it in, no questions asked. Just
send it to me in a letter and be sure to sign it so I know to give you
credit for it when your name comes up as we go through the logs. If you
know something about who else might have been involved, we'd appreciate
hearing about that.

The bug is now fixed, of course.
