Hey there!
I'm the main staff member who was involved with this situation. To start us off, your account was flagged for item transfer and needed manual review before any action would be taken. I was the person who looked further into the logs and investigated the situation.
During my review, I noticed a few things.
First, your character Dmitriy "Killjoy" Krysha was PK'd on May 31st for a cop shootout. He was removed from the Gopnik account on June 2nd. Within roughly two hours, your new character, Mikalai "Sasha" Vuzkyi was added to that same account. This character was not in Popov, but instead belonged to an allied faction seemingly waiting out the 7 day timer.
While on the account, Sasha withdrew, used and sold items that your previous character had helped acquire and manage. Multiple items, such as two Yoon coats, were only ever handled by your two characters. With several other items, even when other people were involved, Killjoy was the last person to handle them before the PK, and Sasha was the next person to withdraw and use/sell them afterward.
Your argument that you were only selling clothes for Gopnik does not change the issue. The problem is not the existence of a gopnik account or shared inventory. The issue is that after your character was PK'd, your new character regained access to the same items your previous character helped obtain and then benefited from them. Since you did theese sales, your new character was able to profit from inventory connected to your previous character.
The purpose of a PK is to end that character and separate their items, connections, and progress. If a player can immediately return on a new character, regain the same access, and continue using the same resources, that defeats the purpose of the PK system.
The first relevant rule is Character Rule 7:
"Likewise you may not transfer money or items between any of your characters in anyway. Nor are you allowed to act as the middleman for someone else's item or money transfer. Transferring items or money between two of your characters is not permitted under any circumstance."
I am referencing this rule because, regardless of the items being stored in a shared account, the end result was your new character gaining access to and benefiting from items your previous character acquired/handled. The shared account acted as the access point between the two characters.
The next relevant rule is Character Rule 9:
"You cannot use a second character to assume a role you were just PK'ed/removed from."
After Killjoy was removed, Sasha was added back shortly afterward and resumed the same function of being a trader/seller for Gopnik, with the same account access and inventory access. The concern is not simply that both characters sold clothes, but that your new character inherited the same access, duties and resources near instantly after your previous character was removed.
In conclusion, the issue is the overall sequence- Killjoy handled/acquired/sold inventory > Killjoy was PK'd > Sasha was added to the same account within hours > Sasha accessed and used/sold the same inventory.
Because your new character continued benefiting from resources and a role connected to your PK'd character, this falls under item transfer/role continuation rather than normal use of a company account. For the reasons I listed and explained, the PK was issued from me.
Have a good one
