The compensation given seems adequate. I disagree with the "psychological trauma" crap thrown out by American courts, but in this case, I'd suggest the company return the guy's stolen property, together with mild compensation(exp? gold? not gm only stuff of course), and of course, removal of the cheater(no need to ID the guy to others, just remove the guy quietly. On the other hand, if your contract with players says you can terminate their account at anytime for whatever reason, you can feel free to ID the guy to the cops) Think of it this way, this guy has hacked into another player's account, and cost you a small bundle, possibly in court fees as well. He's a liability more than an asset, even if he pays his monthly fees.
