When I first read that the original poster was "held responsible for another team that buys too many of their players?" , I went back through my past transfers to see if I could potentially be in danger of fines. I'd never paid attention to who buys from me and who I buy from and I wondered if there could be something that looked suspicious.

Some time ago, someone made a suggestion for a bid history. While their reasoning for it was a different situation, I think a bid history could reveal a lot more about this situation. Was Dolphin7 involved in any other transfer bids that he didn't win? Were bid increments extremely large? For example, was there something like a $100,000 bid on a player who's current bid was $10,000? Was anybody else involved in the bidding of the players he did win?

As it is now, we don't have enough information to know whether anything wrong was done. The admins have access to this information, so I'll trust they acted appropriately.

Should the seller be held responsible for a buyer who does not scout or ask about a player? I am happy to share talent of any of my players selling, anybody will tell you this.

Well its not really a free market if there are limits. And no, use the scout tool responsibly. This thread,man, is actually a ploy by Gatr22, hand-in-glove with the admins to fan the distrust,spice the forums, create panic and freeze the trade-market.....so that they can then use explosions to create mini-tidal waves that would result in the atlantis rising from under the depths .......

And so he can plan to destroy the Leprechaun army

Why do you think this is a fine? In my opinion, this is just a transfer price adjustement, which was necessary in this case.
