One assumption was bann isboxer and PLEX prices would drop. They did, but they recovered to a certain grade.
So, OP, thats a completly stupid idea.
That ban hasn't started yet.

BS!
PLEX where created for the market. The use for speculation is expected and intended.
PLEX exists to make CCP money.
They need people to buy PLEX with RL $ that helps to fuel the company.
What happens from there on the market you would think would not matter.
However, you need people to buy them and use them at a good rate to keep the turn over going.
The prices were getting to a point that people just drop the extra accounts and that drops demand and from there that goes back to the $ that CCP want and by now probably need. **
It was probably a bonus but now PLEX is probably counted as a monthly and annual income used for general expenditure and paying salaries.
** which is precisely what some players are banking on. There is a group with a core that believe they win the game when CCP has to shut it down. So, they are doing all they can to buy up PLEX, drive other players out, increase their own players with the profit, extra PLEX and ruin the game.

This is such a ridiculously subjective post that it isn't even funny.
A can afford 1 account but wants two.
B can afford 3 accounts and 2 PLEX, doesn't want to play 4 accounts as it is juggling too many chainsaws.
B sells PLEX x2 to A
CCP gains PLEX x2.
If the facility were not there; B would not spend that money, nor would A.

Serene Repose wrote:It's a matter of the ratio between ISK sink to ISK faucet.
When the ISK faucet is gushing the veteran players get out their buckets, barrels and resevoirs.
When the ISK sinks are greater or the faucets are turned down, the new players come into an inflated market they can't afford.
So, here comes your problem:
How do you ISK sink the veterans without harming the newbies?

There are many individuals with thousands of plex stockpiled, and a great many more with hundreds of plex. And all of them want to sell at a maximum. That's why plex crashed harder than ever in December - it dropped by nearly 200 million in less than a month. For those paying attention that is the real record, not the fact that plex failed to hit a billion isk. What December showed us is that the eve market on TQ cannot support plex at a billion isk with all of those lovely hoarders wanting to cash in on their "investment" ( lol). The downside to this is that everyone knows exactly when to cash out the next time around, then again anyone with half a dose of common sense knew that already. Meh. I think you are over thinking it a bit, we've had the 'Black Friday' sale not long ago and now we have the Rhea sale, also it's Christmas and players probably drop a few bucks more on PLEX as usual. It's a buyers market at the moment, but I'm not afraid that the price will stay down there. It's definitely not speculators getting rid of stock, why should they?
I agree and think it is an artificial drop. The mult-box ban, Black Friday, Christmas it is a minor flood that is driving the price down but will dry up. Then the steady inflation and price rises will kick in again.
What I have my popcorn on standby for is the real drop. When you have PLEX traders that have been buying low, storing them up, tied up too much ISK in PLEX then there is a run on it to sell it off. Some of them will be literally sleeping when it happens and they will be stuck with PLEX that they would have to sell at a loss or keep holding onto for quite a long time.
Another artificial one that could give them nightmares is another millionaire selling off loads of PLEX to fuel another null sec alliance war.
Edit: This is a dip that is delaying the real crash that I want to see.
