Odd that he was prosecuted for the theft and not for assault...

Great! That sets a legal precedent. I'm gonna sue KiN for $10,000.00 for stolen property. Oh and tack on another gazillion for "mental anguish"

I personally would love to see some hackers serving jail time for theft of virtual property. Taking it a step further I would love to see some dupers and scammers serving time for internet fraud.

Counterfeiting! That's a federal offense! :gun:

Dupers don't make money without convincing someone to buy their product, so internet fraud enters into it as well, and internet fraud is also a federal offense.
