Yip Admits to Tizzy Sabotage of BNT

My fellow SLers,
My name is Turkey Yip, some of you might know me, and others won’t. I was working for jasper Tizzy in his company Countless Galaxies. I was his furniture designer, and I turned into his “slave” in a way. Him and I would stand on his rooftops in Talyn, and do “rooftop” trading, as he would call it, with WSE. We would make thousands of L$, and I was too gullible to realize I was being used. He had me doing every dirty job there was, for minimal pay. Then I got into land sales for him. He had me lying and cheating noobs, so they would buy his mainland. Once I sold all his mainland, that was *almost* it with him and I. When I moved to the company BNT as a sales representative, jasper realized he could use me for one more job. He saw I was in with BNT, and was using me for information on how BNT was doing. Then, to piss off IntLibber Brautigan (CEO of BNT Holdings), he had me write an article for his magazine entitled, “Bankruptcy in my BNT?” jasper was secretly trying to destroy the company I was working in, so he could merge with IntLibber, and gain all those profits for his bank. When he realized that the Bankruptcy article wasn’t going over as planned, he had me write an article about IntLibber’s enemy, Maldavius Figtree. Maldavius Figtree worked for IntLibber previously, but fighting over an Orientation Island ruined their relationship. An article entitled “Maldavius = Win” was written, again an attempt to bring down IntLibber and BNT. jasper then realized he could use me to gain profits FROM IntLibber. He would have me give him the employee discount in BNT Holdings (IntLibber allowed up to 15%), and then he would sell the land for more. We did this for awhile, until I resigned BNT for two reasons. The first reason was that the payroll was changed, and it wasn’t exactly worth it. But also, jasper was pushing more, and more. It didn’t feel right because I know how business is in Second Life. I do apologize to IntLibber Brautigan, Kaddan Yue, and all others in BNT. I didn’t mean harm, and for IntLibber’s concerns, I haven’t been talking to Maldavius. He has asked me to become part of his estate again, and sell land, I just nodded my head and “ignored” him. I hope I haven’t caused too much harm, and I hope you understand I am deeply sorry.
Sincerely your Friend,
Turkey Yip

We at BNT greatly appreciate this confession as an expression of true regret and an act of atonement. It takes a lot of maturity to make such a confession, and we appreciate Turkey being forthright about doing the right thing here. If more people tried to do the right thing SL would be a much nicer place.
