Haha, agreed. They were most likely very stereotypical "Nerds" and decided one day that they wanted to be hardcore like Durial. So they scammed someone for the first time and got caught. Classic.

[The Fat Controller]

The Leeuwarden District Court says the culprits, 15 and 14 years old, coerced a 13-year-old boy into transferring a "virtual amulet and a virtual mask" from the online adventure game RuneScape to their game accounts.

I wonder what they mean by 'coerced'.

I wonder what they mean by 'coerced'.

From a dutch newsite:

Vorig jaar dwongen twee jongens uit Leewarden een plaatsgenoot tot het overdragen van virtuele items uit het spel Runescape. Onder andere een zwaard en amulet, door de jongen aangeschaft met zijn bij elkaar gespeelde credits werden overgedragen onder bedreiging van een mes. Ook schopten de jongens het slachtoffer. Zij zijn nu veroordeeld tot werkstraffen van 160 en 200 uur met één respectievelijk twee maanden voorwaardelijke jeugddetentie.
(...)

Translation:

Last year, two boys from Leeuwarden forced a boy to to transfer virtual items from the game Runescape. Including a sword and an amulet, obtained with collected ingame credits, were transfered while he was being threatened with a knife. The boys also kicked the victim. They are now sentenced to forced labour of 160 and 200 hours and one with a respectively two months of conditional detention. (...)

I hope I translated it well. But it's just fucked up, threatening a kid with a knife and kicking him for some crappy virtual items on a crappy game.
So that is why they punished them so hard, not just because the law said so.

It's not embarrassing at all. It's just creepy.

Letting everyone in your region/school know that you're pathetic enough to scam virtual goods is pretty embarrassing
