Down the thread the CEO admits that the guy was fighing it till he fouind out he had been punked by having it done on the test server, at which point he conceeded he had been played extreamly well, and he sheepishly authorised payment of the escrow as He felt Reddit deserved it. So the legal implications are for naught.

Looking into it more, it looks like it was also more that what happened is that the 'escrow' was actually he bought $1000 worth of time codes from Shattered Crystal and asked them to hold it as a prize.  They agreed.  But their policy is no refunds for virtual goods, and were it got ugly was basically R was going to initiate a fraudulent chargeback, after detailing his full plan on the Internet and in e-mail.

Alright, the story is that some guy voluntarily paid $1,000 of GTCs to someone who tried but failed to scam him because he thought the attempted scam was so cool.

If that's actually true then he seems pretty chill. Wonder if he still needs a corp?

Should I spend this $1000 in a Thai lovehouse or just throw it at some stupid meaningless internet spaceship grudge?

Spaceships are less likely to give you aids.  Then again.... CCP has destroyed .ini files in their patches before.... So I guess it's a tossup.
