We all want a little extra moolah sometimes, but this twenty-three year old chinese student Wang Yue Si, studying in Japan seemed to think that a few extra bucks means a million dollars. It's all good to dream about such things, however this man actually achieved his goal. Now that's a rarity, especially when you spend most of your time playing online games. Clearly not impossible though, as Wang made an easy million solely by selling "items such as weapons and currency for online games".

*Sigh* I must hunt for my copy of World of Warcraft, especially since I don't possess a student visa that explicitly states I can't work to earn. Unlike Wang, who decided to ignore this, and sold items worth well over $1.3 million. Wouldn't you be a tad bit discreet if you were going about making a million dollars and violating the law in the process? Not Mr. Wang Yue Si, he openly sent one million yen to banks back home in China, and the efficient cops of course caught a whiff of this(maybe they use those virtual dog pets these days). And it's no surprise that this little scheme ended in tears (read : Wang being arrested).

Personally, I'd stuff all the cash in a bag, eventually get it exchanged for coins, buy a pool and fill it up with my money. Nothing like a good dip in a pool of coins to savour the feeling of having broken the law.
