Blocking the accounts was a wrong decision no doubt, but allowing those players to blast through 2,000,000 gold when they'd only paid for what, 800 bars or whatever that bundle would normally give you, would be a bad outcome against all other players who are vastly in the majority. I can only guess that blocking gold use by those accounts until the situation was rectified was not possible.
Big difference: that was when gree accidentally gave too much bonus gold to people. This was a legally binding purchase. Gree chose to sell that much gold for 39.99, and players chose to buy it.
