Most of the story of the screwed economy

MOOOOAAAANNNN!!! This talk on a money wipe is getting old. And anyone who thinks the rich are trying to hide their money that's pretty funny. This money was released a while ago (I don't remember) by yours truly . And it was 1 billion that was formed in that short 15 minutes of that little glitch. I decided to form a clan and guild with hommer since I had a plentiful amount of money in my pocket and also we have created some other less successful clans in the past. A while after being created, misunderstandings with my clan arose. During which I donated 750m to the clan I was currently participating with, in which case is being/has been undoubtedly depleted during the discussion of a money wipe. I still had a lot of money (a little less than 250m) but was not keeping it all to myself. I donated items I bought with the money to my clan. The clan back then was more like a clan to help the other players of TMW. Since we had a lot of money and items on hand we didn't have a problem giving items to other players. All they needed to do was ask for the items or we would just offer them to the players. This made it so a lot of the players in the community didn't need much money. I started to buy items for 3-5 times the original cost, at the time, to spread the money throughout TMW's community. That was a pretty bad mistake I made. Rare items in TMW started doubling and tripling in price within a few days of releasing the money to the players. I still had about 175m on my account which was more than what I needed. I gave about 50m to Cagemanz to keep for himself. After the long period of time (about 1-2 months) of constantly giving items and money away to other players I had nearly 125m left on my account. After, I noticed the remaining fragment of the 1 billion anonymously depleting little by little from 125m to about 100m to 80m. After a while It dropped down to 25m (1.5 months ago). After not going on to TMW for a while I decided to go on and check if anything was going on in the community. Scarred by previously seeing the money on my account being depleted without my notice or consent I was cautious about the money on my account that was left (25m which was still a lot) though I did not bother to transfer the money to a separate account. I remembered my place on the top stats list for the 50 richest as being I think fourth from the top with the 25m. After checking on the top stats list for the 50 richest (~45 mins ago) I went and checked my account and realized I only had 77gp left. I'm guessing the money was taken by mr.anonymous and sunk which is, I guess, for the greater good. Now I am left with a whimpy 77gp (out of 1 billion) on one of the three characters on my account. That is when I checked on the forums to see if anything else happened. Whoever depleted my money on my account could have at least left me with a couple mil... . I'm sure the majority of the money has been sunk by now.
