Dishonesty and Theft

So this is really freaking bugging me. A good friend of mine always has some of the most gorgeous characters I've ever seen, and she occasionally sells a few of them. She has had a few bad experiences on DA and I'm always telling her "FA is better, we don't pull that kind of shit..." Well, slap in my face...
Some guy purchased a character from her and then a few days later had Paypal forcibly remove the money from her. Naturally, she reclaimed ownership of the character. I mean, it's common sense. If you DO NOT PAY FOR SOMETHING, you DO NOT OWN IT. Well, the dude actually used the character in a YCH and did not pay the artist the $80 that she was owed, so the artist contacted my friend because her copyright was on the character and found out that he didn't own the character in the first place. So not only was the artist out of $80, but my friend was having the character used against her permission by this guy!
Well tonight, he tried it AGAIN. He erased the copyright from the picture, reposted the character, and said that he owned it. My friend asked him to remove it and he tells her "Fuck off cunt" and blocks her. And anyone who said anything to him, he hid their comments and blocked.
It's just so frustrating to feel so helpless to right the wrong being inflicted upon someone I care about...

Money talks, unfortunately.
Seriously, fuck people like this.
.... that is, provided the reference picture wasnt adult rated. If it was, then her account gets shut down and she loses out either way.
