Zyuu is seen here selling me an early beta key for $100.00 USD.
This operation took approximately 4 months. In that time I was able to gain access to a contact inside the staff at FFXIVCore. Through my contact I was able to gather intelligence on Zyuu, the site administrator, as he communicated with my contact. It was through my contact that I was able to arrange a buy directly between me and Zyuu. He trusted me because he trusted my contact. That is how I was able to get this screen shot. This screen shot has circulated to the admins at ZAM, Eorzeapedia, Curse, FFXIV Citadel, and FFXIV Vault. Zyuu has been able to get most of them to keep this information quiet by discrediting me and painting me as a liar. (Update: two days later all but one of these threads were re-opened after the staff saw the veracity of each of my statements.) My email accounts and FFXIVCore account have had repeated password lockouts because of somebody failing to hack my password.
I successfully got this screen shot into the hands of Zyuu's Boss at Curse Network as well as into the hands of his handlers at Square Enix. Needless to say they were very displeased with his decision to leak beta information and sell beta keys for his personal profit. I performed this entire operation without any assistance from other operatives or informants. I placed this intelligence into the hands of 5 different site administrators who have their own handlers at Square Enix. I did this to ensure that several people inside Square Enix would see it, thus increasing the pressure on several people to take action. I call this operation a failure because I did not complete the transaction for a key. Zyuu was scared off by Sanari's thread which erroneously calls his for-profit scam a donation-for-keys scheme. It seems that they are going to go with this public apology found on FFXIVCore. I suppose it is quite humiliating to have to video tape yourself -- throwing pie at yourself. I consider it a perk. V.
