I disagree, and quite strongly.

Whilst I've not played EVE, I have respect for CCP and how they've shaped EVE. They have created a world that's true, not one that's nice. Almost every MMO is basically handed to you on a silver platter: You die, nothing is lost. You never find yourself below no currency (i.e. no actual debt) and so forth.

EVE is brutal, just like real business. Companies can rise and fall overnight, and that's how EVE appears to work. If people are 'stupid' enough to fall for your scam, well, it's their problem. CCP rarely get involved because it's easy to cheat the system, and they could be taking ISK that belongs to someone else. In business (and often life) you can't just stomp your feet and your money is back. You have to make conscious, educated decisions - It's what EVE is about.Bullies and Thieves do get to do well in EVE, but that's no different to real life. You go into EVE knowing full well that everything can be lost, and if it happens, then you've little right to complain.

Kudos to the guy who pulled it off. He never exploited or cheated, he simply played the system for what it is.
