He may have burned bridges, he may even get his account banned, but that's as far as it will go. EVE allows the purchase of time cards for subscription, and assists in the legitimate sale and trade between the time cards and in game currency. This makes EVE the most liberal of any MMO I've seen as far as crossover from virtual / real markets. The only thing that is frowned upon and prohibited is the outright sale of in game currency for real world cash $$$. But that doesn't mean he'll be the subject of any criminal charges or civil lawsuits. This will make news, the ignornant will cry foul, but his gaming accounts being banned is all that will happen. He could buy another account and start over fresh if he really wanted to. I applaud this man turning his hard work in game, into a real world asset.
