A lot has been written on this forum, questioning my integrity, with defamatory comments, so even though my account is currently pending investigation, I thought I would reply with a brief statement.
I am sure this statement will be pulled apart by the conspiracy theorists of you, but it is made in good faith.
My in-game avatar is called “Daniel DannyO Ocean, was created by myself, and is still played by myself (unlike many other high-profile accounts) This account is
NOT an MA account or played by an employee of MA.
I am a UK player, who lives and works approximately 30 minutes south of London.
I don’t have the actual statistics, but I suspect that I am probably in the top 10% of players that deposit, I am probably in the top 10% of players in respect of peds cycled when hunting, and probably in the top 10% of skilled players.
During my time in game, I have always tried to help or assist people, although I can from time to time be impulsive!

TP Chip
All I am prepared to say at this stage is that the TP chip was
NOT given or traded to me by a MA Official Avatar or an MA employee.
Heal Chip
Rightly or wrongly, this was given to me in good faith to assist with events on Arkadia, due to issues with official avatars. I duly helped and assisted on these events, at no personal gain to myself.
In a personal error of judgement or stupidity I played around with this chip on cally. I admit fully that I healed people at the robot wave events at Medusa and Pandora and also the recent Purger event. I am sure many people can vouch for getting free heals from me. I may also have blipped the chip in a few other places.
I also fully admit to playing around with the chip around Western Habitat area on Tuesday 7th April. I initially was creating damage on my avatar and healing myself using the chip. I discovered that the chip could be used to gain some skills, so I hid my avatar in a vacant room and was skilling for around 90 minutes.
This chip is not compatible with hunting solo, which you all know that I do….. and if I have used it to gain an advantage in any way while hunting, I am sure the MA investigation will bring this up.
Summary
I accept fully that I have been foolish and stupid, and I am man enough to know “ if you do the crime, you do the time”
I am sure that if MA find during their investigation that I was trying to defraud them in anyway, my account will be permanently locked.
If after MA has done its investigation and it finds that it is no more than an error of judgement or stupidity, I am guessing the ban will be temporary.
Even if my avatar is unlocked, my in game reputation has been destroyed, partly by myself and partly by the trolls, and conspiracy theorists who are quick to condemn on this forum, so I am unsure at the present time, even if my account is unlocked if I will play this game again.
To my true friends in game, there is a lot of real stuff going on in the world atm, so take care and stay safe.
Regards,
DannyO
