What's causing all the inflation?

(1) the mesos sold on meso buying websites are ILLEGIT. They're currently being obtained through a hack, meaning your $45-60 are going to buy HACKED mesos that ruin the economy in the first place for all legits players, and in the end come back to hurt you once you've inflated prices but can't buy any more meso to afford what you all of a sudden need.

Not to mention that there's a chance that the mesos obtained by those sites were from hacking other people's (legit or hacker) accounts and selling the items to stockpile even more mesos to sell. I haven't heard many incidents of this being the case compared to the amount of hacking/botting going on for mesos, let alone if this actually happens, but the possibility of this just adds to the illegit nature of this act.
