The following link is in Dutch so i will give a short English description of what is on it.
Eerste aanhouding wegens virtuele diefstal A 17 year has hacked several accounts in the game Habbo Hotel and stole property worth approx €4000,-. Habbo Hotel called the police about this and the person was arrested. In Habbo Hotel you have an avatar and you can buy Habbo-credits with real money and use the Habbo-credits to buy furniture for a room you room can buy. This is similar to buying peds in Entropia Universe. The person is charged with both hacking and theft since the Habbo-credits represent real money. This is good news for the dutch entropia universe players who get hacked. This because there is now a legal precedent which can be used. Cheers Richard (ingame Siam) |

I have emailed the Swedish police about this just out of curiosity and the reply I got was that a crime is a crime even if its in a online. They told me to make a police report if anything would happened and the "IT-Police" would investigate this.
I referred to online poker as an example cause I didn't think they ever heard of Entropia, both are in the same league with real money involved. Police do take virtual theft just as seriously as irl ones. /Udi |
