It's quite simple, really. The kid is the victim here, plain and simple. Whether you believe "he had it coming" or not, the fact remains that the troll is the bad guy. Let's discuss a few principles, shall we? First let's assume that the kid is in fact in the wrong for seeking "hacks or exploits." While this is true it doesn't give a person the right to vigilante style justice. Furthermore, the punishment has to fit the crime. Is seeking a way to game the system cause to delete two of your character and some exotics? To me, it seems like that is a rather harsh punishment. Likewise, saying that the "kid had it coming" is like saying that the people who get conned by the "Nigerian prince" scam emails had it coming, too. It's foolish, yes, but that doesn't give someone the right to victimize you. To a lesser degree, it's like saying that a victim of -blam!- had it coming because of the way the dress, the places they visit, or the life style the live. Opportunity or susceptibility does not excuse the behavior. Bungie will definitely be banning this guy for what he did, violations of EULA. There could even be a civil lawsuit (trespass to chattels, for example).
