An Ultima Online player set up 19 donation houses in the massively mutliplayer game to raise virtual gold for Tsunami victims. He started the thing off by donating $3,000 of his own cash to the Red Cross and is now selling the gold on eBay to reimburse himself. If he sells more than the $3,000 he ll donate the extra to Red Cross too, if he sells less he ll just eat it. So far Crazy Joe has raised more than $315 million in virtual gold and earned $312 through eBay auctions. Crazy Joe invites investigation, saying he isn t running a scam, doesn t eat puppies or run over baby ducks.
