EA confessed this in their reaction to the allegations from Weismart's blog

On the 1 hand, it's easy to Mut 21 coins write off this for anyone without skin from the sport. If somebody's already spending tens of thousands of dollars opening packs, why shouldn't they go right to the source and get the players they want? However, for the players who are active in Ultimate Team, it seems like a betrayal. Since Nick put it,"So we grind/trade/open packs and can't touch these PIM players, but EA workers sell them to individuals covertly for $1,700?!?!" It creates an even wider gap between the haves and have-nots in the game, without even the veneer of players earning high-rated players through ability.

EA confessed this in their reaction to the allegations. They stated that accounts were used to"inappropriately" give players access to highly rated cards they had not earned through gameplay, opening packs, or other lawful means (i.e., watching Twitch flows ). They blamed it on compromised accounts or EA employees going into business for themselves. EA announced an investigation into the misconduct, promising to take action against any players and employees caught participate in the Ultimate Team black market. Though they did not specify what actions could be taken against employees involved in the scandal, players will be banned indefinitely.

The offending players won't have much of a leg to stand on when they're banned. Beyond what it does into the game's ethics, it is a violation of EA's User Agreement. The banned players will join an exclusive club that no player would want to be a part of. This includes a YouTuber who had been banned from all of EA's games and madden 21 coins ps4 an Irish teenager who insulted legendary player Ian Wright with racial slurs on Instagram.
