There have been quite some downtimes and a bunchload of bannings (permanently) and freezings (until things are sorted out) in the last week. But the inflation peak was not that horrible as it sounded, and all found out ill-gotten platinum has been deleted. This caused no problems on regular servers and only minor issues on the Exchange servers (which I am of course not part of), because there people paid real money for the virtual cash.
Despite some critic, Sony has quite a good record tracking down botters and pharmers in the near past. And now after the Station Exchange introduction, their efforts even gained teeth, because now traded virtual cash has an equivalent in real currency and thus, activities like this can be prosecuted by civil law, as Sony can claim real losses. Before the introduction of Station Exchange this was hardly possible, no court would have made a case about the loss of virtual money.
