I don’t know anything about the game, but I’m guessing the new account was created to protect his identity, should the ploy fail?
As another example of EVE conventions, in 2012 the biggest trading hub was attacked [0]. This is nominally a safe area, and indeed the NPC security responded to every attack. This was part of the cost-benefit analysis of the attackers, who were aiming to drive up the price of resources that they had hoarded. When other players complained to the developers, the developers found it hilarious, and helped advertise about the attack.

Really? The general run of comments seems to indicate that the attack could only succeed because nobody in the targeted corporation noticed a popup warning them about the attack for 72 straight hours.
That strongly suggests that very few corporations should have any guards at all in place to prevent this type of attack, because there's no way for the attack to succeed unless everyone in the targeted corporation has stopped playing the game.
What are people worried about?
You can see corp (clan) history as well as all transactions between players. If you’re claiming to be a new pilot, but a 9 year old or 1 day old account is funneling money to you that would raise a flag.
