By playing any game, you are explicitly consenting to be bound by the rules defining the magic circle that makes a game separate from reality. (Check out GM Hormonia's post on the subject.)
This is why you don't go to the gallows for Regicide every time you kill a Queen in a chess game.
In EVE, scamming is within the rules defining the magic circle. Therefore, you have explicitly consented to allow people to attempt to scam you. Ganking is within the rules, so you have explicitly consented to allow people to attempt to gank you. You have explicitly consented to allow people to do anything to you within the confines of the magic circle we call the game universe.
You may withdraw this consent at any time by not playing.
The parallel you tried to draw is as invalid as it is offensive.

Seems odd since making money shuffling papers in even is a HECK of a lot easier than it is in real life.
In real life, banks make money by lending money out at a higher interest than they are paying to their creditors (depositors). They are able to do this because there is a large supply of safe debt for them to buy. EVE does not have that large supply of safe debt for a host of reasons, and so EVE banks quickly run out of quality debt available for purchase, and are stuck even if they weren't interested in scamming.
