Can I get banned?

[Syruz]

I have 2 accounts, if I transfer all the gold from 1 account to the other, making it seem like the first account got hacked, and then ask for a restoration, will the account that I transfer the items/gold to get banned for hacking/stealing?

There's always a possibility of getting banned. If Blizzard sees through this - for example, in the fact that both accounts are only ever accessed by the same IP address - you are much more likely to be banned.

well, you might not get banned-- but you might get suspended and than the gold on the new account will be gone

[Stinja1]

you can get banned by doing anything ;-)

[dvann]

They can trace ips

And if I transfer the gold to another account, will that other account be banned also? also how long approx. would a suspension last?

[Gummibär]

If someone reports the gold stolen, a GM will withdraw the gold, and most likely suspend all other accounts that were involved except the original.

There are ways of laundering the money. Search these forums. You can keep all stolen gold (or most of it) without getting any attention from a GM.
