So basically this is what just happened:
1) person(s) A purchase service from CCP (playtime) for real money.
2) this playtime is destroyed in game
3) CCP has thus earned 1200 bucks, and does not need to give service/playtime in return.
4) CCP makes 100% return on these 1200 bucks.
That reeks of fraud to me.

Simply out of interest, I have forwarded the query of whether or not what happened here is "ok" or not to a professor at Stanford.
I will be most intrigued by the response, I hope he has time for us :)

wtf has a proffessor got to do with anything ?? the guy lost em cos he was a totally idiot - end of
those are not mutually exclusive. the guy is a total tool, and its really funny.
but I'm interested to know if -legally speaking- when you buy plex, are you buying a service (gametime) or an ingame item. and is it still considered a regular ingame item if it can be redeemed for real world service...
In which case the fact that they can be destroyed/stolen by other players, and the service you purchased thus NOT redeemed (to you) might actually be a crime of sorts.
its pretty fascinating, I wanna know :D

Totally and 100% legal. you purchased an ingame (well.. 2 units of it) for real money, then turned around and exchanged it for ISK. CCP explicitly says there is no gaurantee said item will not be destroyed.
it's just like if they sold ships for real money and someone's ship got blown up. buying virtual goods with real money is 100% caveat emptor.
The part I wonder about, is if this applies when the ingame item can be redeemed for real world service.
So, i sent out the question :D

Just for the record, I'm personally perfectly fine with PLEXs popping. I'm just fascinated by the question.
