Get rid of virtual-virtual money, no credit cards/accounts, so thieves can only rob you if they destroy your ship while you are carrying your cash with you, invade your station or the place where it's banked, force you to give it to them or whatever.
This guy would've never walked away with it because half the galaxy would hunt him, his ship, his assets and etc. untill they had looted the very last gold coin out of his bankrupt empty hands.

The problem isn't the money, it's the use of alternate characters. It's just too easy to do this type of thing with a disposable character whose last act before being sent to the bio shredder is to transfer his ill gotten gains to the main char without anyone knowing the name of the puppeteer behind it all.
If people were limited to one character and had to live with the reputation they created for themselves in game they'd be far less likely to pull stunts like that since they would have to face the music afterwards.
