You do know that a PLEX costs more than a monthly subscription to buy right? And PLEX don't appear out of nowhere, someone paid real money for it to put it on the market.
And hi plex prices do benefit someone besides CCP: People who sell PLEX for ISK to those daft enough to use PLEX to pay their subscription

What the hell is up with the random tinfoil hat fad we've been seeing as of late? Next up, someone will say that bronies are taking over or some stupid ****.
We're already here.

Now if the individual was buying up plex with illegitimate isk and then trashing them, that would be a problem, but I am utterly too tired to reach for my :tinfoil:
This COULD be happening. It is POSSIBLE that CCP creates "throw away" accounts to buy PLEX from the market with instantly materialized through GM/DEV code, without the work put in to generate the ISK, and then delete it to remove the supply of lower priced PLEX to leave the remaining PLEX at a higher, more desireable for CCP price.
I bet you believe in Chemtrails too.

Cheap isk PLEX hurts CCP more than expensive isk PLEX, because cheaper isk PLEX is less desirable to purchase from CCP for $20 than a more expensive isk PLEX for $20.

Well, a lot of things are possible. But it isn't likely because it would be a bad idea for CCP to interfere in the way you describe.

It really is this simple.

You believe you know all you need to know.
You can't know that more or less total plex is being traded, you only assume you do with the information provided to you, but there is information that none of us knows. Because of what we can't know, it's impossible to say one way or the other as a certainty.
As for CCP wanting to keep prices down, well personally I've never seen a Dev statement confirming one way or the other. Does one exist? Potentially. Just because I haven't seen the statement doesn't mean I'm going to claim it doesn't exist.
The problem with this reasoning is that, if we assume your premise, we can't know anything about anything and therefore we cannot draw any conclusions. It's a futile mental exercise.

It's an informed opinion, however.

We have a regular Socrates in this thread.

Hello, i hear you would like to speak about the possibility of CCP inflating PLEX price. I use the word possibility, because it is possible.
How do you feel about the possibility that CCP is inflating it's own PLEX price within EvE?
I think they wouldn't dare do that after T20 and this entire discussion is based on no evidence or even the rumored existence of evidence.

I'm merely stating it's a possibility and defending that statement from people who claim it is impossible. If CCP tried to manipulate their own PLEX prices, people would just buy them from a different retailer, at least if they tried to increase it.  They offer all kinds of discounts, and even the occasional special offer, though, but it would be awfully weasel-word:y to call those GÇ£manipulationsGÇ¥.
I want to add that offering some temporary discounts on PLEX sales is a far cry from secretly removing PLEX from the market like he suggested.
