In the Anarchy Online case, the items they were selling were
apparently all duped/farmed using exploits which is how the BSI
characters were identified.  Does it really matter if BSI is allowed
to sell things online - the issue in this case is if games are
allowed to ban players when it can be demonstrated such action will
cause financial loss.
