As well as taking isk from someone who illegally buys isk for RL cash, maybe the character's in question should be put in jail for some period of time. Just like IRL, if you get caught by the police defrauding or laundering money they do more than just take the money back
Also it'd be a way to directly name and shame those who buy isk, and it makes perfect sense in terms of immersion. "Spoon Thumb got caught by DED for laundering isk. Now he has to do time in a prison on Itamo III." You make it so players in jail can't use markets or undock and use ships but still get all their chat channels and evemails. Maybe even have a "jail channel" for all those in the same jail.
Ah the irony when that channel gets filled with isk seller spam adds :P

im as against isk buyers as the next person but no..
Seriously what is it at the moment with people going IRL this it how it works,... no on cares
Well that kinda is the whole point. It is unrealistic that you can just magic money from some parallel universe. Many people play the game without ever having a 2nd account or buying isk through GTC's because they want a realistic simulation completely separate from the real world to test things out etc.
But the funny thing is that in the real world, people will cheat and forge bank notes or launder money. So for people who take either side of the argument, it makes sense.
Also you're never gonna stop the isk buying, so might as well embrace it. There are three RMT methods and only two of them are legal (multiple accounts and GTC's). Might as well extend that into the game. And I think people already pay CCP to docked spin in a spaceship all day long and chat to ppl

CCP had said times and times again they would not "name and shame" their own customers as EULA violations were a private matter between them.
A shame , really - this would make ISK spammers less effective , "I bought your ISK and now I'm stuck in jail , bastards" 
There's nothing to identify a character with a RL person unless the player tells everyone who they are. And that is their choice
