I think that the tax on gold argument doesn't fly, it's not a currency exchange, it's a bought product, and if the goverment deceided it was a currency and thus taxable on game income, it would go uglier faster for the goverment, can i pay all my taxes in game gold?

and thinking of game gold as a product if it gets stolen (hacked account etc) and sold, is it a crime? (as viewed by a court of law) and can it be prosecuted?
