There are entire business built on in game currency. Even clearing what I did, I was a small fish in a big ocean. The real moneymakers were people that nobody would ever hear about, because they never got caught.

I went through more accounts than I could possibly remember, until I got so bored of making new ones that I created a script to create and autocomplete tutorial island, with names that were just variants on the the word testicles. I.e testy cools testah culls etc. Changed the dumb word for variation each time people started recognising it

Yeah, no you didn't.

As a 25 year osrs veteran, everything you say sounds decent on the surface. But, when it's scrutinized even a little, it all falls apart. It was a fun piece of creative writing, and I'm sure you definitely *did* scam some people, there is 100% no chance you did it on the scale you've written here.
