Anyone who has ever played EvE Online knows the mantra "trust nobody".  Scamming with the ingame currency is not only allowed, but almost encouraged.  There have been "player operated" banks in EvE that have gained trust over years and then with no warning walked away with TONS of ingame money because they can.

I see people making the same mistakes with their BTC that they could have learned to avoid by just spending a few months play EvE.  I really would recommend it.
