Like others here I'm a little short on sympathy for the author specifically, if Google bans one app, I think I'd be upset about it enough to not just let it go under the assumption I was innocent - obviously someone or something at Google disagreed.

However I do think that banning anyone "for life" over three apps is a bit much. Ban the developer account, fine, but Google has gone to such great lengths to entrench people in their own ecosystem that a more widespread ban (like Wallet) can have repercussions far more punishing than the crime.
