Dear CCP,
Fix this. If none of your current employees is qualified to do it, hire someone who is.
Your game is broken. Its 'economy' is a farce. You've just been handed a list of perps. Start up the woodchipper and start biomassing toons, deleting accounts and removing the trillions of ISK involved.
Or stay silent, do nothing, and watch your company fail as spectacularly as your game has.
P.S. Make the doll-playing part optional. There's enough performance issues with your game already.

You would be amazed at how people can launder isk.
My favorite example (no proof behind it, but it demonstrates just how bulletproof it can be) is if you take two chars, one with a titan the other with lots of isk (a botting account, for example) and sell the titan through Chribba, from one char to the other. That isk transfer is now legitimate, and you've maintained that the 2 chars are 'different' people so that when the botting account is banned for botting, the person holding the isk is untouched.
Dude, remember, better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open oneÆs mouth and remove all doubt. (Your example is asinine, unless being minus one titan is your idea of 'untouched'.)

So I crunched the numbers and was surprised to discover that the only people playing EVE are me, Icarantus, and 50,000 bots.

Banning these accounts wouldn't necessarily be a money-loser for CCP. For starters, any time currently on the account has already been paid for and would be forfeit (as well as all those PLEX that the cheaters have accumulated.) A lot of these accounts will be replaced, in the hopes that being 'more careful' will avoid future bans. CCP could also charge a premium like $50/mth/account to allow known cheaters to resubscribe (maybe the toons could have a scarlet letter tattooed to their foreheads as well.)
But just from a public relations/reputation standpoint you'd think CCP would care that their flagship game has been reduced to a RMT/botfest due to their dereliction of duty/incompetence. Don't they realize that the success of their future games relies to a significant degree on the reputation they have for supporting their current game?

I haven't seen this much of a concerted 'muddy the waters' effort since the Monkeyspank hack went public.
Unfortunately y'all are cluttering up this thread while making it hard for people to find my posts.
Differentiating between bots/addicts and rmt/legitimate scams was exceedingly difficult UNTIL NOW. CCP just had all the evidence they need and more handed to them on a silver platter. Real names. Credit card #. Dates. Amounts.
There is no excuse for them not to act. Decisively.

I am pretty sure it will be more then plenty to fund a few devs to work on some nice features for World of Vampires and Space Barbies.
Fixed.

Cheaters like whitehound need to be biomassed asap. This is not a victimless crime, all non-cheaters are victims of botters and their vile customers.
If not biomassed, then having unremoveable implants that disfigure them and make them train slower would be awesome and a good compromise. If only CCP had the vision and integrity to make it happen.

And it has NOTHING to do with hurting CCP. They're a fail company that stopped supporting EVE a long time ago.
It has to do with encouraging gameplay that makes everybody else's gameplay (i.e. the non-cheaters) less meaningful. If there were no customers, there would be no RMTers and if there were no RMTers, there would be (almost) no botters. If there were no botters, my gameplay would be enhanced exponentially because the ISK I generate or the ore I mine would be that much more valuable in-game.
