so... this is more or less what happened to the OP (except he didn't buy the char, but got it for free)... and you seriously think it's ok or fair?
Except that the OP has said that CCP specifically stated that the fact that the character was free was why they weren't reversing the decision.

I wonder how CCP would respond to a petition reading:
"I am about to buy this character for isk. Please check it for possible rule infringements asap so I do not waste too much effort if it is going to be found to have broken the rules."

They would respond that they will not discuss GM actions with a third party.
But then if you bought it and requested it be investigated asap then they would give you your money back if they found it had bought isk, right?

Thinking about it, I think this has more in common with being passed counterfeit currency. In the UK certainly if you get a counterfeit ú20 then the best you can hope for is that it is taken away and burned. If you are suspicious about the note you can refuse to accept it yourself but once you take it the chances of ever seeing the real ú20 you were supposed to be getting are slim to none.

Actually, under my national law, if you didn't suspect and had no real reason to suspect certain goods were stolen, you don't have to give it back to original victim. This is done precisely because it would be unfair to the unknowing and innocent buyer who has done his research to have the goods taken away from him when some other person comes up to claim it. However, getting something 'for free' from 'a friend' puts a lot of responsibility on the buyer to properly research the legality of transferred goods. On the other hand, paying normal price to a well known business would put little to no responsibility on the buyer to research it's origin.
I am curious, what nation?
It works very similarly in the UK. If you're ever at all uncertain about the provenance of secondhand goods be sure to get a receipt and keep hold of it.

A thought occurs.
If the original player had other characters and had transferred isk to them, would ccp have penalised them or only the person he transferred the original isk-buyer character to?
