Flawed logic.

How much a player is currently holding does not negate how much RMT gil they've ever received.

For example:
You have one million gil. You make something that costs you 500k of your legitimate gil. You sell it for 1 million and the buyer paid with RMT gil. You then burn 500k gil on making the item again, and sell that item for another 1 million gil. Another buyer buys it with RMT gil.

Congratulations, you've now received 2 million gil, all of it RMT. And if you spend any more to repeat the cycle of "profit" there, you will have received more RMT gil than what you currently have.
