Recent events have me thinking

To Jack,
No it was neither a veiled threat, nor an attempt at sarcasm. It is based on my, possibly faulty, memory of successful cases tried in court about items/cash in MMOs. All major graphics based MMOs have a clause stating that the person playing does not "own" anything in the game. I do not know if there is legal precedent for a game company to take something from a player, when the player did nothing wrong. I have no desire to find out, either.
Zenith can call the cash the game receives a donation. It may or may not stick legally. I am not challanging that in any way. What I am challanging is the fact that once a player has turned the credits into game cash (or with money they earned in the game), they HAD the right (would you prefer the term ability?) to do whatever they want with it.
This issue here is clearly the amount of cash transferred. I have received 100k before with no problems like this. Had Casanova given 200 100k, would there be a problem? Zenith only cares (ok, that is a leading statement, made because I am getting more upset) because two people received a lot of money.
As an aside, I also feel that Zenith is "protecting" a select few in the game. I wanted to state this, even though it has nothing to do with my above arguement. I DO NOT feel that Zenith is unbiased.
