All I'm going to say here is that this is why you don't buy digital games. Also, you need a lot of personal information for this exploit to work. 

Per PCMag "When you initiate an account recovery, you submit a PSN ID, the registered email address, the user's full name, and one other detail:

• The first four and last four digits of the credit card number used on the account.

• Serial number of the first console used to create or log into your account.

• Order number for a recent transaction made on this PlayStation account."
  
  P.S. Sony is stupid for not helping the man. 

Dude, the f.

It shouldnt be hard to prove that he is the owner of account. I hope for happy ending to that story.
