What would be the reaction if, within the next few weeks the following happens:

Players that had a majority of their gil stripped received a portion of it back.
SE sends them an email that their full investigation is now complete and gil that was not from an RMT/exploit source has been returned.

I think a good point was brought up here. SE could have taken the weeks they would need to determine an exact amount of gil to be removed, or they could take a big chunk and get everyone back up and running.

What if they are still investigating? What if, when they conclude their investigation, either items or gil are returned to the players found NOT to have participated in botting/RMT/exploits?
