While Stabby does turn over information to Sirken and other GMs, he realizes that it might be possible to take some of these items for his own end. He makes a couple big trades that seem to draw attention and result in characters such as the troll illusion bard Mythoxxus getting banned after he trades some pretty high end items for that character.
TLDR: Stabby turns in information about platlord because evidence of RMT in Flawless Victory taking place becomes evident to the officers, but then Stabby steals some of these items/platinum from platlord without telling the GMs. The GMs realize this, and Stabbyjoe is banned.

Stabby got slapped pretty hard for his crime. Honestly, and I realize how this is going to sound, but if he had stolen *less* it probably wouldn't have been a big deal. Not like we'd turn a blind eye and call it a finders fee, but we probably never would have noticed given the excessive amount of information given to us.
Unfortunately, he took enough to make him easily the richest (unbanned) player in the game, and I had just happened to run a query looking at that around the same time as the RMT sting.
TLDR: Stabby deserves some credit for turning in what he did, and spent HOURS helping Sirken and I make sense of it all.
