Why are you advising him to do something that will get his account banned?


Stop spreading false information.

Accounts does not get banned for being hacked unless illegal actions are performed on them (by a hacker or the owner, doesnt matter), or the account owner cannot regain control over the account (i.e. the owner does not change password or gain control over a hacked email). In that case the GM's close the account to avoid further damage.

they actually do

you can't tell whether an account has been hacked or sold so the logical consequence is a ban

It seems like a gray area with the recent issues with all these accounts being compromised. Hopefully a GM can shed some light on the issue.
