Could you expand on this? Was the dev a Superadmin of the domain or otherwise an "owner"?

Just hard to imagine companies having their domains shutdown for the acts of an employee who happens to have multi-login enabled.

dev was added as an admin to our google apps for work and had multi-login enabled. He already had a banned play account from five years ago.

The ban didn't happen overnight after he enabled multi-login. Took a few months and then got an email from Google that all related accounts and any accounts belonging to me or to this dev will be banned without any notice.

This is the reponse to the admin appealing the ban (Note the words "associated Google Play developer account")

"Hello Mimi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Play Team.

After reviewing your appeal, we have confirmed our initial decision and will not be reinstating your developer account.

Your Google Play Developer account has been terminated due to multiple policy violations by associated Google Play developer account. You may also review the Content Policy and the Developer Distribution Agreement.

Note that Google Play Developer Console terminations are associated with developers, and may span multiple account registrations and related Google services. Do not attempt to register a new developer account. Any subsequent registrations will be closed and your developer registration fee will not be refunded.

We recommend that you utilize an alternative method for distributing your apps in the future. Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Regards, Arya The Google Play Team"

Wow, so now in addition to criminal background checks companies should do "banned dev accounts" background checks.
