Bank Robbery in EVE Online
EVE Online is a game even I won't touch due to its level of crazy and that's a pretty big order of crazy considering I've played Saints Row 2 which allows me to streak through the city wearing only a smile. EVE is also a lesson in unbridled capitalism.
The person who was the CEO of one of the bigger banks in the game decided to pull a Ken Lay of Enron and raid the coffers for himself taking about 200 billion in game credits (or kredits -- which I can only assume is due to the game originating in Iceland and those people are too inbred to spell right) and turning it into hard cash (about $5,000) for personal gain. While apparently the bank raid wasn't outside the game's terms of use, trading the credits for real money did result in him getting kicked from the game.
