The key word there is "apparently." After all, you don't *know*
anything about what's happening next, do you? And there's really no
reason at all that you should be privy to such information, especially
if there's an ongoing investigation.

The entire "apparent" supposition in your post is that, having shut
the auctions down eBay is now going to forget the incident. What's
more, this supposition entirely ignores the fact that identity theft
and online fraud are rapidly becoming two of the hottest items on law
enforcement's agenda.

Or, would you rather that the perpetrator were apprehended and put on
trial before the authorities were satisfied they had a good case?
