It's completely possible to do both and it's been happening since the launch of the xbox 360.

there are also various methods to steal MS points on the xbox itself but only in the increments they provide. I'm not here to go into detail, just to say it's completely possible and continues to happen.
You are also correct about account theft which leads to credit card fraud and incredibly only leads to a console ban instead of prosecution.
Accounts and stolen goods often end up being sold from China though so Microsoft can't do much about it. It's been happening since launch like I said but took off massively after the release of FIFA 12, said incidents can be found all over the web.
Using any stolen account or dodgy MSP WILL lead to the xbox being banned completely online.

A JTAG'd Xbox 360 seen in the above picture, an instant 999 ban if they connect to the Xbox Live servers but some can bypass it, apart from seeming innocent and running homebrew etc, these things cause havoc online, modded call of duty lobbies to rampant infections in public lobbies, aimbots and what not, they can turn an online game upside down in a second. Here is a link to the console banning page:

Anyway enough with the gloom! Here's some morning enjoyment.
