Actually raid Full Attack did caused a lot of server problem. They are using google server, not Amazon, and have to live with google server's limitation. That is why even when they finally added "skip animation" option in the raid attack, you still need to wait 10 sec between uses. Their server just couldn't handle that much ping that fast.

If I am a conspiracy-nut, I'd say that LOC actually couldn't detect cloned-pp (except maybe during the initial cloned stage before they were traded). Instead, what they can detect is cloned card, as well as various other cheating methods. The account that were banned probably didn't get banned due to cloned-pp, but rather due to other reasons (again, noticed that vast majority of the banned accounts are level 220 Odyssey accounts). It does help to spread the rumor that LOC is able to ban account due to cloned-pp in order to put some scare and paranoia into people.

As other people as pointed out, with cloned-pp being already widely distributed into the market place, there is just no way for them to ban or remove cloned-pp from the market without bring tons of innocent accounts down with it. The only thing that they can do is 1) close the cloning exploit, 2) put out some vague non-specific threat to warn future cloner, 3) device some other methods to try to stablize the market.

Basically, I wouldn't worry about getting cloned-pp in your account. Otherwise you wouldn't still seeing so much market activity, with price of the cards still remain high (though it finally seems to stablized a bit).
