Well actually, they haven't said that PED purchase/sales are forbidden. They actually say, that they don't suggest it.
What they said is: PED sales/purchases are at your own risk. If you buy PEDs and the seller is involved into fraud, you'll can bet that you'll be banned too.

No. They shall follow the same rules as everyone else. I don't see why it would be ok for bankowners to do this without the consquences of a ban in case of fraudment but not for normal players. Same right for everyone.
Unless...
MindArk introduce a ingame feature and/or outworld interface to support this through the ingame banking system and not by player-2-player trades.
Second Life is here, once again, 2 steps ahead of MindArk. They already have a working system to allow players to offer such exchange services and run their own exchanges (independed of the official LindEx exchange). All the people have to do is to do all transactions through the "Risk API" offered by LidenLabs. What it does is basicly checking if the user has enough creditibility to withdraw or deposit this amount of money. So new registered accounts, get lmits as low as 10$/day on deposit/withdraws. The longer the account is and the more you deposit the amount increase to a certain point and stops then. If you want the limits to be increased you need to concat LL directly.
Failing to use the Risk API, same thing as
MA does can happen: If fraud is involved your either risk 150% of the money invovled to be taken away or permanent ban.

I'm sure it is about security - but I wonder if MA is a bit worried as to the 'market' value of the PED when compared to the fixed value. |
As mentioned above, MindArk failed to react in time imho. Second Life already has a good working system, which greatly increased the exchanges and added certain level of new deposit and withdraw posibilities which arent officially supported by the LindEx/LL.
And of of the very important things is, many of the functions and ingame scripts/objects are directly accessible from the internet, which allows you to automate certain tasks, basicly making them instant. You don't relay on someone to come online and give you the money.
