ProbablyVano
ProbablyVano was a PvP focused player on EarthPol who became one of the primary recipients of illegally spawned in gold during the November 2025 cheating scandal orchestrated by former Staff Manager Dandire.
Receipt of Duped Materials
During the investigation, CoreProtect logs revealed that Vano had received large quantities of illegal raw gold blocks that were spawned in by Dandire. When bans began to roll out, Vano attempted to quietly dispose of the evidence by scattering raw gold blocks into random chests throughout his town and hiding the yellow shulker shell in a barrel inside a makeshift cart.
These efforts were unsuccessful. CoreProtect tracked every placement and removal, ultimately confirming that Vano was directly benefiting from the duped materials.
Attempted Cover Up
Investigators discovered that Vano continued to move items around even as the situation was unfolding and other members of the cheating group were being banned. The raw gold he attempted to smuggle or hide remained traceable in furnaces, where it was still smelting at the time the logs were reviewed.
This activity was interpreted as intentional concealment of evidence and active participation in exploiting duped resources.
Friendship with ToastIsPower
Vano is known to be a close friend of ToastIsPower and the two had already been banned together on other servers for duping and hacking related offenses. Their association was noted by EarthPol staff but Vano’s ban was independently justified based on his direct handling of the spawned in items.
Ban
ProbablyVano was permanently banned from EarthPol in November 2025 for violating Rule 2.1 Exploits and Cheating, specifically for receiving, using and attempting to hide duped gold supplied by Dandire.
