MMO dev bans gambling streamer's record-setting 1 trillion gold account, only for him to immediately start gambling on a new character

gamesradar.com:

The richest player in the history of nostalgic MMO Old School RuneScape has been banned for alleged real-world trading, which means a staggering 1 trillion gold has been removed from the game in an instant. Assuming you were able to convert it via illegal gold sellers, 1 trillion OSRS gold could theoretically net you upwards of $160,000, potentially making this one of the most costly MMO bans of all time. 

YouTuber and Twitch streamer BTCs received a permanent ban on October 3, as they affirmed in a recent video calling the ban unjustified, and repeatedly calling the anti-cheat team at OSRS developer Jagex corrupt and dumb. On Twitch, they insisted the whole thing "was a full-on scam." Surprisingly, this has not yet convinced Jagex to change its tune. 

In screenshots of Discord conversations now shared online, Jagex community manager Mod Ayiza maintains that the dev team has "thoroughly reviewed" the situation and found "irrefutable" evidence which ensures there's no chance for the ban to be overturned – unlike the last time BTCs was banned, and then unbanned, for alleged real-world trading.

"It was very clear on our end that someone was accessing your account and using it to trade hundreds of millions of GP through it, which was then sold shortly afterward," a message from Ayiza reads. "Ultimately you are responsible for your account and what happens on it. If another player accesses your account and breaks the rules of RuneScape, we will take action against the account."
