Preventing other people from falling into this trap will give you a better feeling about the situation.
*EDIT* Talisman - I do see your point, but I don't think the fight would erupt here. If the person who supposedly did this came to vBulletin.org I don't think they'd fight, because this person has not responded to this persons e-mails or various tries to contact. So, if the person who took the money came here, would either be wanting to give the money back because he/she could not do it or finally respond to the attempts on contact. Not saying things like "Ahahaha I'm not giving your money back" I think that would be shut down quite quickly by a mod or admin.
Hope that made sense...
