Keep in mind here that, if he could "steal" stuff in the game, it's because the game is DESIGNED that way. In many online games, being able to steal things is simply part of the game. The fact that his in-game actions allow him to make money doesn't change this fact. It's similar to winning money in poker -- it isn't stealing the money if the person you won it from wagered it willingly.
