Agreed. The specifics about how this scam ends up giving “some kid” a bunch of ill-gotten v-bucks seems to have been deliberately left out of the article.
As you pointed out, the hacker cannot transfer vbucks to another player, so the ony way he can sell the vbucks is to create a new account and then sell that account to someone who probably already has an established account they will have to abandon.
I didn’t know about merging, can you expand on that?
