There are no ingame systems for administrating and controlling ingame banks. Even if banks in Eve are started with the best of intentions, that much ISK concentrated in one place is an irresistible temptation.

Those running a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme Ponzi scheme] pretend that the money they receive is invested, and the profits are distributed to the investors via dividends. In reality however, the dividends paid to existing investors are being funded by the money from new investors and administrators pocket the rest. Once they've reached the desired amount of ISK that they're happy with, they simply take the money and run. | Those running a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponzi_scheme Ponzi scheme] pretend that the money they receive is invested, and the profits are distributed to the investors via dividends.
