I suppose it's possible to ask for every penny someone has if you're a match, since they'll obviously pay you their last dime. It's an asshole move to go after someone at their most vulnerable, though, and if it became public would likely get you justifiably ostracized from any decent community. It's also currently illegal in the US.

Of course, asking your medical costs, recuperating costs, etc. to be covered is totally reasonable.



Not asking for myself, I was just wondering in response to the comment about offering money. So people who would only do it for money could opt in.
