The question remains though, how would you know if someone is a known RMT person?
That situation really isn't so far-fetched. Buyers and sellers in EC often have real characters they play too. My husband and I both have EC characters because of weight. It eventually gets too cumbersome to move around with heavy items and cash, and it's more logical to stick a low level toon somewhere and transfer items to it, and plat from it.
Those that don't have spouses playing ask for help from guildmates or friends they've made along the way.
I've had someone ask me to help them because they trusted my guildtag. I helped them without question because that was a nice thing to say, and I was flattered. Now, I'm concerned that I helped someone who was a known RMT person on this magical list that isn't published anywhere and that somehow, someday I'm going to be banned for it. Another guildmate admitted that he frequently helped strangers with transfers, and will now refuse to do so because of the distrust this situation has created.
Players need some clarification on exactly what went on with this ban. I am not saying they need to admit their tactics, but we would appreciate some clarification as to the level of absolution of proof so we can regain some deserving trust amongst one another.

It's not really something you have to worry about, for two reasons:
1) Platsellers don't level characters. They make a career out of RMT. On the off chance that one of them did indeed play, I'll be able to cross check the logins
and the encounter logs to confirm that you did actually powerlevel one of their characters, and your account would be unbanned.
2) If you were merely involved in a transfer, I'll be able to spot that instantly and your account will get unbanned - this did actually happen in about 3-5 cases out of the accounts banned, and those peoples characters were unbanned within 10 minutes of petitioning.
It's not really all that difficult to tell that the person he was powerleveling was
not the person who gave him platinum. Besides IP's correlating to physical locations (that are easily verified by visiting a variety of geolocation IP sites), we have additional tools to track logins and determine who someone is.
To add to this and further ease people's worries, platsellers also don't just give out platinum.
If your whistle is clean, you'll be fine
