He personally led the Serpentis' private army in an attack on a Gallente Federation naval base with the goal of hijacking the FNS Molyneux, a ''Soltueur-class titan''. Against all odds, he succeeded, and then managed to make his way back to the Serpentis Prime system with his prize despite constant attacks from a horde of god-knows-how-many capsuleers who wanted the glory of killing him, which he later attributed to the (smaller) horde of capsuleers that decided they wanted to ''help'' him.[[labelnote:Details]]Just to make sure you understand the magnitude of this feat, the titans players can build and fly are second-generation "Promethean" titans, whereas Soltueurs are first-generation "Iapetan" titans.

* A dark awesome moment of {{Manipulative Bastard}}ry - Goonswarm disbanding [=BoB=].
* Kartoon, Goon's CEO, freezing all of Goons' dreadnaught cache, removing all director roles, kicking every corp from the Goonswarm alliance except the wallet corp and the supercapital corp, and put the "Goonfleet" corp ''into the Band of Brothers alliance whose name they stole almost exactly a year before.'' The new Goon corporation is Goonwaffe and their alliance is "SOLODRAKBANSOLODRAKBANSO[LODRA]" Over all, [[http://i187.photobucket.com/albums/x135/CommandoDude/Kartoon.jpg?t=1286434845 he stole more then a trillion in ISK.]]
** Kartoon also self-destructed some of the Goon dreadnaughts, though in his defense some of them were named names that when put together, read "seriously, fuck you kartoon, and niart too." (Niart being the guy who forgot to pay the bills.) [[http://i48.tinypic.com/2dcc20j.jpg Here's a pic of the destruction.]]
* Goonswarm managed to top their disbanding [=BoB=]. How? ''[[https://kotaku.com/how-eve-players-pulled-off-the-biggest-betrayal-in-its-1806168400 By flipping one man and stealing almost everything from Circle of 2.]]''
* [[http://www.pcgamer.com/how-a-scam-in-eve-online-turned-into-its-greatest-rescue-mission/ How Scooter McCabe,]] attempting to scam a small-time player named ''[=Scottmw15=]'' who made the mistake of insulting ''The Mittani'''s friend, used an alt to infiltrate Scott's corp of newbies (called ''Standing United'') to find it was an NPC '[[ItemFarming ratting]] labor camp out in Russian space, where they couldn't communicate with the Russians who would brutally murder them if they escaped. At first, Scooter made the entire corp's lives a living hell. After he found out Scott was the bad guy and the newbies were being forced to rat and suffer verbal abuse, Scooter used his main account to [[EvenEvilHasStandards tell the Mittani how bad it was]]. After an Australian roaming group shoots him down and asks what he was doing out of curiousity, Scooter tells them about Scott. The leader of the group remembers him, and goes to collect the 100 million ISK bounty Scott placed on Scooter, only to demand 20 BILLION or Standing United was history. Scott snaps, and Scooter informs ''Markonius'' that they have to save the newbies, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold and Scooter guides a fleet of Goons on Eve's first humanitarian-aid mission.]] Keep in mind this heroic effort came from the most notorious scammer in a world of scammers and jerks.
** The parent alliance ''The Imperium'' has posted [[https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/5hxobg/the_scam_master_vs_the_slave_master_how_scooter/ an article]] from the words of Scooter himself if you wish to read it.
* The Goonswarm managed an incredible bit of awesome [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bastardry]] by not just repeating but ostensibly ''topping'' their takedown of Band of Brothers in September 2017. To make a long story short, they managed to turn Circle of 2's Council of Stellar Management rep to their side. When the heist came, [=Co2=] suddenly found itself deprived of virtually everything and it's [=CEO=] copped a permaban from issuing threats in anger at the traitor.
