I wreckon this is actually a good idea, who cares if they manipulate the PLEX market, each PLEX is still 1 month of game time and as a result valued at real money (if it takes a billion isk to get 1 PLEX, then so what...), now with a Charity event any plex that is donated, they are obligated to donate the real life value of the equivalent value in PLEX. This could be very effective.

The way I see it is that if you want to hurt CCP, buy any amount of plex and add them to the redeem system, then leave. You can add on that biomass of characters if you are serious.
If EVE did go down the Death Spiral, there would be nothing stopping them from shutting down EVE and removing all of their liabilities along with it.

umm how exactly is it taking money out of ccp's hands? If they intend to buy Plex's, welp hate to break the news to them, but CCP already has that money. A plex doesn't enter the game until it's converted from a time card. Only way to get a time card is to buy it with real life money.
Not to mention the cost of being the seller of a toon is $20 or a few plexes.. Umm so how is this going to take money out of CCP's hands?
It effectively doesn't. But what you have to realise is that any modern Business doesn't have hundreds of thousands of Liquid Cash waiting in a Savings account in Switzerland for a rainy day. More often than not as soon as CCP receives money from us they want to put the money to use. And as we have known and recently became very well aware of what CCP has been and plans on doing, we now know they have been fleecing all of the EVE players so that they can fund their other hobbies (Non-revenue liabilities, aka Dust and WoD)
Given this fact, in all likelihood CCP has taken your $30 now and put it into Dust Development banking on the fact that they won't need to pay you that $30 back until you fulfill your subscription amount (or even better spend it on useless space junk).
If they applied a discount to the Liabilities of a PLEX to compensate for the fact that not all PLEX make it to paying subscriptions or worse a PLEX for Good, they could be in a much less than favourable financial position.
If you have experience in valuing companies, a company with their potential liabilities in excess of their assets, is on shaky ground.
