Rockstar is collaborating with Sony for sure when it comes to exploits and bans ... let me tell you my story .
2 months ago when GTA got updated to 1.26 I got banned 10 days instantly for dropping money , then I tried to log into other account and then I got CID banned from GTA only , for 10 days aswell .
when 10 days passed I got unbanned and I also updated my EBOOT to a check-bypass one , then I played with mods and dropping money with no problems
like 1 week after they unbanned my account , my PSN got suddenly banned , first time I tought they banned my console but I tried other PSN and worked
so that's why I think rockstar just sent to sony a list with accounts who got banned for dropping money when 1.26 update came out and Sony decided to ban them because it was obvious they used exploits and shit ....
and I also think that the Sony banned only PSN's and not consoles because they know there are people who use OFW mods for GTA , so it would be a dissaster for them to get console banned since you can't change CID and superslim consoles can't be downgraded
Luckily my original CID is ok and I'm playing GTA with mods for almost 4 moths . I'm using webman and I enabled "disable syscalls + delete history at startup" .
