So, what makes you sure this isn't a noob corp that run some sort of event/contest/race? You watched them for 20min and conclude they are macros? Any other evidence than your strange theory and silly calculations?
BWAAHAHAHAHA
I love the Eve forums.

3. Try to find out how he moves isk. Check contract under his name, see if he drops a jet can (pop it if you can), etc, etc
I can think of a number of ways off the top of my head that would transfer ISK (although not with perfect efficiency) from a trial account to another account without another player being able to get good information on who the end recipient is. Basically, anything but contracts. Trade window, market trading in general (sell/buy orders placed at remote, unused stations), or even just contract bought items as normal to a third party, which in turns launders the items into isk and transfers them from there. On proving, tracing and stopping this kind of behavior, while petitions can alert CCP to certain instances, all the real heavy lifting has to be on CCP's end.

Dum dum dum... One problem - as far as I know, the eve client prevents from 2 trial accounts being online on one PC at any given time... I may be wrong... And it is possible that the eve client has been modified by those people in a way preventing the block from turning on?
Just my 2 cents on this, didn't investigate nor will I investigate.
The are so many obvious ways around this I don't even know where to start. But hey, it's WAY more likely that a whole bunch of garbage named trial characters in magnates in the same systems running eternal courier missions are totally legit players. Macros do not exist. They just don't! All those sites you can find with a simple google search offering bots that do exactly this behavior? Smokescreen, just to convince people less clever than you that macros exist.
Whenever I want a good laugh, I read threads here on macros and count the number of people who insist they don't exist. What motivates that? Like, are you so loyal to the Eve game that you can't believe its exploitable? Are you just trying to find some way of convincing yourself you're smarter than all the sheeple? What is going on in your head when you are confronted with evidence that dozens of identical trial accounts with identical fits are running courier missions in certain systems, and you feel the need to arrive at the conclusion that everything is on the level?

Trial accounts can't station trade.
Trial accounts can't create contracts.
There are hundreds of unused stations in highsec. Pimp daddy puts up an order for some rarely bought item for big money, trial account buys it.
I thought of that pretty much instantly. I'm sure if I gave it time, I could think of plenty more.
Props to Ash for immediately jumping on the AHA MACROS DO NOT EXIST bandwagon. More hilarity. Yeah, guys, I'm sure there's plenty of reason all these trial accounts keep running courier missions in identical fits that is perfectly legitimate.
