Those pirates, they'll do that to ya.
But still, kind of dumb idea to travel through a bad neighborhood with that many high value items...

Since some people don't seem to get it, let me explain.
1. EVE online is a subscription, pay to play game.
2. EVE online made this subscription a tradeable in-game item. This means you can now trade it for game currency. This guy PROBABLY bought a bunch of subsciptions, and wanted to sell it for the currency to get super rich.
3. EVE online is a very... realistic game, to say the least. These aren't Pirate NPCs. These are players, who just jacked this guy's stuff by blowing his ship up.
Basically, its completely the player's fault. He went through a bad area with a huge cargo of valuable items with absolutely no protection. Trolls be trolling.
