I am somewhat opposed to the idea of banning someone for trading hats. As that is a common occurring item of trade throughout the server, as well as the image coupons and subscription tokens. It’s unjust to make a statement of banning and nuking in regards to this one action reaction event.

This. Definitely needs system message "[Name of the Hat] has been transferred to your account."

RL money trading, I think, refers to giving in-game items or accounts in exchange for something like direct PayPal deposit. These people were engaging in trade that was facilitated by game mechanics specifically implemented to allow it. Of course one of the parties ended up scamming the other, in part because implementation turned out to be imperfect.

If this is RL scamming, is killing a character that gained FEPs with a subscription RL vandalism?

Not at all what I would expect from past precedents, but great to hear! Would you be willing to reveal the identity of the other party involved? If people know their anonymity is not ensured I think it would go a long way towards discouraging scams like this.
