That’s correct as far as I understand it. In OPs case, it seems this is what Google is accusing them of, creating a new account after other accounts were banned.

Further, does this mean once banned, I could maliciously join organisations to get them shut down?

Perhaps Pablo should get a job with a high profile but small on tech company (maybe a bank?) and watch Google change their policies immediately.

If that were the case, you might find yourself having a hard time joining organisations that care about this. It'd be something of a liability.

How does one check for this? Showing you currently have an app on the AppStore which is older than a few months?

Not only that, if you use multi-sign in via google chrome or via gmail , all other accounts playstore will be terminated for being "Related"
