This practice would be just as well received as the behavior of the cheaters who would suffer from that policy, I believe. Charging people for a month of service that they'll never receive because they cheated in a videogame is a little unfair. I don't think SE should be assessing monetary penalties on people for the way they act; simply removing them from the game and possibly barring further usage of the credit card from making new accounts would be punishment enough.
