I know this will be hard to accomplish...
but can someone give a short synopsis of what actually happened with PL that has caused all the forum posts recently?
There are certain topics that we are not suppose to talk about... One three letter word starts with a "B" and end with a "N"... so don't go there. 
I don't read COAD each day and others probably don't as well and would not know what has happened. So if someone might give a quick summary of what lead up to the restricted word it would be appreciated.
Our key logistics guy was banned, initially he was told it was for "selling ISK RMT", this changed to he "had hacked someones account and sent 20billion to himself in small increments", he asked them to check IPs of his and the victims account as he knew nothing of it so it became he was "banned for buying ISK". He then made the mistake of asking for it to be elevated for a senior GMs opinion. 5 weeks later he still hasn't heard from this guy, so he petitioned again to be transfered to a GM who isn't dead and got a reply in under 5 minutes saying that it would not be transfered. Some people in PL felt that waiting over a month to discover your fate was a little too much so started posting threads, it can't do any damage as he's permanently banned and the GM simply ignores the petition so nothing is lost. If he's guilty of something then you would have thought that a simple explanation of what hes done wouldn't take long to type up.
tl;dr: you can get anyone banned by hacking a random persons account and sending the ISK to someone you don't like. CCP will then ban that person even if they don't know why they're banning him as the concept of framing someone hasn't occurred to them.

might be a good idea then for ccp to add a "accept" button when 'give money' command is issues. problem solved.
on the other hand if those accusations r fabricated im sure they can find something else lol. as old a trick as mankind is. boo
-1 ccp for lack of imagination IF pl is right and thats a big "if" :p
Truth is, he *could* be as guilty as sin. We can't read other peoples petitions afterall so can only go on what he reports back to us. Personally my gut inclination is to believe him as the sum is a drop in the ocean to him. As PLs key logistics guy he had pretty much direct access to the main wallet, if he wanted ISK he would have simply skimmed it which is easily done when the logistics guy. I don't think you can actually make this sh** up either, CCP changing their reason rings strangely true. I really can't see him saying the petitions being ignored if he'd actually had a reply either. I think it would be much better if petitions were public once closed as they are often used for propaganda and so on which doesn't actually do CCP any favours. eg, claiming a titan was reimbursed because of devbuddies etc... there's no way to be sure and CCP unfortunately do have a history of rogue devs, which at least makes such an outlandish claim potentially true.
The other guy banned was Karttoon, I don't know much about this one other than he shot a bunch of CSAAs by offlining the tower first. CCP seem to be under the impression he shot them while the POS was still online for some unfathomable reason. Don't take that as gospel though as I wasn't really paying attention to that one so could easily be wrong about the details.

Its worth adding of course for newer players that PL is the alliance ********** belonged to. ********** is still a name you are not allowed to say on the forums because he exposed dev collusion with players of BoB Alliance (now IT) to gain advantages over the other players. The devs responsible weren't sacked, the players involved with the cheating weren't banned though the guy who exposed it all, **********, was. As you can see by the forum filter, CCP would rather not talk about that.

Confirming that Slackjaw and myself deal in 10's of billions of Alliance isk for all our
Deployments to buy everything from pos/fuel/logies/dics/hics/capitals/mods you name it.
Now you've publicly revealed what you do, you should log on every single alt everyday and check the journal to see if someone is drip feeding you small increments of ISK in preperation for your impending removal from the game.

Discussion on GM's actions are not allowed. Inappropriate posts removed.
The logic of CCP deleting the posts that answered the OPs question while leaving the thread open even though we can't answer the OP as it would upset CCP, is pretty much the same logic they've been applying to the petitions for the guys who've been banned.

Latest Update:
Slackjawed is freed.
Karttoon hasn't received an update to his status yet, but we remain optimistic.
