Some background facts, there is only 3 of those ships in-game so far (iirc). That one belonged to the best mercenary alliance in-game, Pandemic Legion (PL for short), which are very notorious for having the best and largest spying network in-game (EVE metagaming is pretty unique), some of the best players and are not only one of the richest alliances, but one that has many of the largest ships in-game.
That guy, with a few other corporation mates, were trying to hunt some enemies who were in expensive ships (not a 9k dollars ship though), while there was an entire fleet from Black Legion, another alliance, trying to hunt that guy.
There are two fun facts to all of this... Pandemic Legion has 12 spies in Black Legion, and many of the people online during that time in PL knew that Black Legion were trying to hunt something (they just didn't know what). That guy lost his very expensive ship because he didn't make use of the spy network PL has, by not asking people if there was anyone trying to hunt him. The second fun fact is that the commander of the fleet that guy in the expensive ship was in, was actually a spy for Black Legion! He commanded the fleet right into a death trap. EVE metagaming is pretty unique.
