That was rumored around about 2weeks ago.  Still no aboslute true reports about it.  I wouldn't doubt it though.

I wouldn't doubt that Yantis sold out to IGE, especially since he has been buying up eq communities.  Makes him more valuable.  I don't believe in the figure of tens of millions, but it could be a hefty sum.  Now might be a good time for him to get out of the game with SoE cracking down.   :?

SOE has been cracking down for a while, but it hasn't stopped the business. I think the buyout might be nothing more than the creation of a company large enough to challenge Sony in court when the inevitable lawsuits begin.

Check the sites of Yantis and IGE.  They both show the same items and characters.

I'm sure Yantis did sell.

Why did this "news" ... or should I say "olds" come back to life?  Didn't we talk to death about this already?
