To further expand on the OP's statement, CCP has drawn a fine line between the meta game and real-world crimes.
CCP does allows things like corp theft, scams, extortion, as well as ransoming other players as part of the meta game.
However, CCP DOESN'T in any way/shape/form allow things like breaking into someone's account. Just like the Sony PSN accounts, Eve accounts also carry personally identifiable information.
So even though it is perfectly legal to CCP for someone for steal your corp wallet and assets using in-game means provided by CCP, just remember that it becomes ILLEGAL and is considered a real-world crime if account hacking was involved.
EDIT:
One more thing, CCP has a dedicated security team that handles the hunting and dismantling of illegal RMT operations in New Eden. One such case involved a guy who hacked into a player's Eve account and tried to later hack into said player's bank account only to have the FBI in the US and the Russian authorities pinpoint the perpetrator to his home and then find out he was also running a drug smuggling operation using RMT money gained in Eve.

If anything, the CEO is in violation for sharing his account info as well. Sony and CCP could easily just ban both people and wash their hands of it. What they actually do though, is up to them and your wall of text means nothing.
Finally, let me clearly say that I don't think this is 'metagaming' at all. This is 100% over the line but is not illegal.
Please read the OP. The case he described involved the hacker calling Sony to reset the password using information that he gained probably via fishing. If the CEO is at fault for sharing his account credentials, the hacker wouldn't need to even bother to call Sony to reset the password.
Admittedly some players in Eve do share account credentials especially involving Super Carrier and Titan pilots. But that's a different case and often times the worst that could happen is a ban and nothing more since both parties would be complicit.

It almost sounds like you have done this before. Not that I'm accusing you of anything. It's just that it seems you know quite a bit about it.
