[BBC]Billions stolen in online robbery
Space trading game Eve Online has suffered a virtual version of the credit crunch.
One of the game's biggest financial institutions was almost brought to its knees as a financial scandal started a run on the bank. One of the controllers of the bank stole about 200bn kredits and swapped them for real world cash of £3,115. As news of the theft spread many of the bank' customers rushed to remove their virtual cash. Source

Brilliant, I'm actually pretty impressed. Guy walks out with £3,115 in exchange for nothing.

Is this even illegal? Barring EULA infringement, is it actually against the law?
