Yeah he's dumb for a number of reasons.

First off jamming 21b worth of stuff into a disposable cyno frigate is remarkably stupid. If I had to haul stuff of that value I would even take it all at once in my Obelisk which is significantly harder to gank than a t1 frigate.

Secondly, undocking with war-targets in system is pants on head retarded if you are carrying a valuable cargo or are in a ship that you care about losing. Especially in Jita where you can expect a lot of lag on the undock.

Thirdly, moving plex? Wtf kind of retard does that. There is zero reason to undock with a plex in your hold ever as you can redeem them from anywhere.

Apparently he was trying to arbitrage a 1.2m isk per unit difference between sell orders in Jita and buy orders elsewhere. That's a really shitty margin for an investment of that scale. You could literally turn over tritanium on buy orders in Jita for an hour and make more money than that with a 21b warchest. Let me put that in perspective; he lost a 21b isk investment because he thought he could make an easy 85 million or so.

But check the kill details.  He died to battleship guns in a frigate.  So he was either crashed out or AFK, given the huge amount of time it'd take for a battleship to lock on and hit with large guns.

Hmm, says no such kill for me.  But, on the BS front... someone else could have had him scrambled... and with some targetting fits a battleship can lock pretty quickly.
