As a player of this video game, I just find it interesting. A guy stole from a lot of other people, and sold that in-game money for a few thousand dollars to help pay for his house.

at least he kept his family together. betrayed sooooooo many others. Desperate people call for desperate times. He's paying the price now.

I'm not a gamer and really don't understand the whole thing but can't they just reset it since it's not real anyways? And who and why would someone give him real money for this virtual money? I'm just dumb I guess. But what do the people use money for? Did he want to buy a virtual 2SS Camaro? Or is that not cool enough. I'm not trying to make fun of anyone I'm just confused with the whole story. Im still some what a computer virgin still. This Camaro5 sight and You tube are about the only things I've learned how to do in this technology age. I need to live back in stone age.
