I think the best solution for the problem (if it really is money laundering or whatever) is just to implement something to better track and detect and deal with those players only. If somebody is dropping/finding piles of 100s of PEDs, can't there be a system that detects and monitors/flags them so that can be addressed selectively, rather than punishing everybody
I agree. Such measures always ever punish the whole community for something a number of individuals do. It is not plausible that an illicit trade done this way can't be tracked with access to the internal databases. Even if you drop a stack of common stuff, it has to be assigned a unique ID at that moment to live in the game for any duration of time. This ID can be traced to both the giver and the taker. It can be too much work to search for something specific every time an issue arises, but that's what automation is for and programmers do on a daily basis writing routines for repetitive tasks.
