Brazilian authorities have arrested four men in Sao Paulo after the gang kidnapped a man and held him at gunpoint for his password to a video game account.
The victim is reportedly one of the world's top players of 'GunBound,' an appropriately named role-playing game, which is incredibly popular in Brazil. In the game, the better you perform in battle, the more skills and experience you earn, as well as money to buy in-game items such as armor and weapons. Apparently, the victim's character is so built up with skills, experience and extra weapons that the kidnappers believed they'd be able to sell the character on the black market for as much as $8,000.
