Gang Kidnaps Gamer to Get Password Using Fake Orkut Date

An armed gang of four, aged 19 to 27, kidnapped one of the world's top players of Gunbound, a turn-based RPG-style multiplayer online game, in which players get more experience points, capabilities depending on skills during battle, as well as money to buy more weapons, armor and all kinds of gear for their multiple avatars of which only one can be played at a time even if they all belong to a single account.

A girlfriend of one of the suspects lured the victim into a fake date using Orkut, Google's social network. After sequestering him in Sao Paulo, they held a gun against the victim's head for five hours to get his password, which they wanted to sell for $8,000.

Surprisingly enough, after five hours the hostage wasn't talking. The group leader had a gun against his head all that time but the guy didn't say a word. At that point, the crooks gave up and decided to let him go. The Brazilian police then caught the suspects.
