If this is true (and that's a big IF) then this is good news for us.
Why is it good for us?
If it's ever proved to be true and if banned account-holders are able to successfully prove this was done to them, it opens Google up to further repercussions and investigations which in turn, set a precedent for the ability to pursue lost earnings and damages from/due to companies who "shave" or ban/close accounts with intentions of avoiding payouts.
However, I doubt any large-scale press will ever pursue this in fear of Google's lawyers slapping them, hard, or even better, de-indexing them and all associated entities from their search products.
