What? how is he the victim? he's just a dummy...
What he did was basically walk up to a stranger on the street, hand them a hundred dollar bill and then told them " I'll be back in 15 minutes can you hold this for me?" and left.

Yes, exactly like that ... except in real life no one ever hands strangers money expecting it back, because if you want to give yourself $100 you just do so. But in EverQuest hundreds of people transfer money and items every day, many of them using total strangers.
Not to mention that all of this happened on a GM-policed server where you can't hide your identiy, so really it's more like saying "hey, you see that video camera that's watching us? it's recoding us making a verbal contract that you are doing me the favor of transferring this $100, and just to be safe I'm holding your driver's license up to the lens" ... and the guy still stole it.
Maybe a better analogy would be FedExing yourself $100, and having the Fedex guy steal it.
