This is how SR handles it when someone's account is banned due to scamming. Obviously if scamming is suspected and proven, then they're not going to hand all of the scammed money over to the scammer before he leaves! Again, this is conjecture - I don't have access to the information that the staff does, so I don't know the full story here. What I do know is that scamming is not tolerated and when someone is discovered to be a scammer, their vendor account is banned. Sam, you did not help matters any when you continued to try to get people to buy from you through messages after your account had been banned. Also, I've seen at least one thread started by someone claiming you scammed them.
