A Cave director that left in April 2015 has been skimming money from Cave outsourcing fees to the tune of over 200 thousand bucks from May 2014 to Jan 2015 according to an investigation.

Exchanges on Facebook from cave staff say things are Ok. Current and ex staff are cheering on ken-san (Ceo Kenichi Takano ) via social media.

A criminal complaint against the un-named director is ongoing.

Personally, I would have gone with "Cave milked 200,000".

So much pwn.

[copy-paster]

Who's Cave ex director ?

Personally, I would have gone with "Cave milked 200,000".

200k isn't worth milking in Cave games.

Given Cave's status as of late, it was probably close to a counter-stop.

Does the guy have to fall on a sword now, Akai Katana perhaps?

(Wait, I got one more!)

A criminal complaint against the un-named director is ongoing.

Cave's attorney's are also quoted as saying that once brought to court, they will make sure he will be prosecutedt to the full extent of the jam.

[brentsg]

I'd imagine all the girls in the games he directed will be legal by the time this dude gets out of prison.

I hope not: is very diffcult to stop a 20-30 meters tall flying ninja ghost with normal weaponery.

He's trying to graze past litigation.

[Skykid]

I'm sure his fellow inmates will introduce him to muchi muchi pork.

There's sure to be some dongdongpachi(n) in the hole I'd reckon.

[Skykid]

He only meant to steal $20k but accidentally hit a multiplier.

[KAI]

I want names.

[Never_Scurred]

I want names.

I want an Ibara Kuro port.

[Blinge]

We can go on a prison Rade and get the answers ourselves?

[BulletMagnet]

Guess he can swap stories with the Milestone guy if/when he gets sent to jail...do most prisons have a "shady former shmup developer executives" wing?

I would imagine that they have white collar prisons in Japan with all sorts of specialty wings.

[BareKnuckleRoo]

This guy really bombed his career.

[BrianC]

Former Cave director set up himself the bomb.

[Cata]

good lord, this thread

[Formless God]

Damn, I wonder if he's gonna attempt rank control due to the increasing pressure.

[Skykid]

Apparently he tried to shift the blame to a computer error. He said his monthly salary was being paid as normal until they encountered an overflow bug.

Damn, I wonder if he's gonna attempt rank control due to the increasing pressure.

Suiciding seems a little extreme this early in the game...

[Captain]

By the time he gets caught, he'll already have an extend waiting.

[DestroyTheCore]

His hitbox was not small enough to dodge the suspicions.
