Has anyone else had their SWTOR credits wiped unfairly?

Back in November/December 2021, I had my entire credit balance wiped by SWTOR staff shorty after having an argument about inflation with a random individual in General Chat and I told this individual I had accumulated 90 Billion credits, He admitted to false reporting me about my Insanely High Credit Balance, Which caused the staff team of SWTOR to Accuse me of Purchasing Unauthorized Credits via 3rd Party despite them providing no proof or explanation I've been playing since 2013, putting in countless hours and over $2,000 of my own money into the game — buying over 222,150 Cartel Coins since 2013 and acquiring rare items like Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze gear, all through legitimate means like Hyper-crates and Hyper-packs (Which some I purchased from the GTN with the credits I made from Previous Hyper-crates)

Hyper-crates in SWTOR are bundles of 30 Cartel Packs, bought with Cartel Coins, containing rare cosmetic items like mounts, weapons, and armor.

I still have purchase history of subscriptions and cartel coins since 2013 which amass to over 222,150+ Total and Counting.

During the inflation period in 2021, I capitalized on the booming economy by selling valuable items on the GTN, amassing a legitimate 90 billion credits. I had proof: screenshots, GTN sales history (Up to 30 days), and records of my Cartel Purchase transactions. After the wipe, I continued to sell items and even tracked my progression to prove I was still active and earning credits honestly and effectively which still fell on deaf ears to the SWTOR team.

Despite all this, SWTOR staff refused to provide any detailed explanation or evidence of why they thought my credits were unauthorized. Every email response I received was a generic, automated message, with no opportunity for real dialogue or appeal. They also refused to refund any of my Cartel Coins or compensate me for the financial loss from items and Hyper-crates bought with real money.

What made pursuing this even harder was the fear of being permanently banned or silenced, especially after I was issued a Penalty Strike and forbidden from posting on the official SWTOR forums. I felt trapped, unable to publicly defend myself or get real answers.

Has anyone else faced something similar? I’m still devastated by the loss, not just of credits, but of trust in a game I loyally supported for over a decade. It feels like I’ve been stolen from — not just in-game, but financially too.
