To the guy who undocked with 74 PLEX in his hold, in a frigate, in Jita, without an insta-undock: What exactly did you think would happen?
To the guys who ganked him: You might have the gotten the biggest monetary gank of all time in Eve, but you still got nothing. Jokes on you as much as on him.
To CCP: While it's fun to see a game play to people's darker sides, I wouldn't be surprised if you just lost a customer there (although you probably got more out of him than he would have given you for the lifetime of eve anyway).

I just want to add a point about the legality of PLEX being in-game items: CCP are capable of truly astounding acts of incompetence and downright stupidity, but you can be pretty sure that they consulted with lawyers when it comes to things like PLEX and the ability to destroy it before they allowed that to happen.
In other words: They're dumb and they eat too much whale meat, but they're not that dumb.

Oh man, what makes this even more hilarious is that from their killboard comments it appears to have been the entire alliance wallet and their sov fund.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob: could someone post a link to that forum? I can't seem to find it, but would love to read those reactions...

o/ Liang.
I think I'm getting soft in my old age. I feel sort of sorry for the rest of those guys in that (presumably soon to be ex-) alliance.

All of this bullsh*t talk about legally binding contracts etc is a waste of good ascii unless someone actually bothers to waste their time trying to get their lawyer to challenge the destructibility of PLEX. No one is going to do that from what I can see, so it'll just have to serve as an abject lesson on what not to do until the next idiot does it. And they will, because this is Eve, an intarwebs game where people like the tl;dr version of things and reading the lines of text on a dialog or doing a show info on the item is too much like hard work.
But just to throw some more gas into this fire, how does this compare with RMT, say where the RMT transaction is legal in game (can't discuss the obvious details on these forums, but it's pretty easy to imagine how it would be done)?
Hopefully, now I've mentioned RMT, they'll lock this thread.
