In Eve Online, it is a highly-bannable offense to create alts for the purpose of transferring the starter ISK to the main and then deleting the characters to start all over. This is because of the overall impact it has on the secondary market in Eve Online. Keep in mind that the secondary market will be coming to Dust as well and Dust will also one day get involved in industry since both economics and industry go hand and hand. Of course, many of us know that PC has ISK-making problems can cause an economic imbalance which is why we expect PC to get fixed long before the secondary market arrives.
Eve players have been caught by CCP doing the exploit and have had their ISK forcibly confiscated while on some more severe instances banned at the same time. If CCP does this to Eve, it stands to reason that they will also do the same in Dust. If there is no policy right now against it in Dust, then expect one very soon as more people bring this up to the front page of many issues.
Even if it is allowed, it's highly inefficient as people previously pointed out. The return for doing the exploit is not worth the investment that needs to be put into it. You have to create a new PSN account which requires it's own unique email account (Eve Online allows you to share the same email for separate accounts), then you have to take the time to create a character, and then transfer the ISK. If you don't want to make too many accounts, you'll have to wait 10 hours before biomassing each alt once the "terminate" command is given (24 hours in Eve Online). Overall, it's just better to actually play the game since you get more ISK that way anyways.
Like I said, if there is currently no policy set against this exploit in Dust then expect one very soon.

Okay, done, next.
Alternative Idea:
CCP should utilize their security team to track and analyze these types of ISK transactions and use that instead to ban the player and confiscate the ISK like they do in Eve Online. They have been doing this for 11 years to track bot users and illegal RMT (real-money trade) operations in Eve. They can even find and link two seemingly unrelated accounts together via the ISK transaction history alone. They have complex algorithms for this.

I feel like you're all wrong but Michael is right (what up michael?) that in the time it takes to do 1 skirmish or domination you can bank 2.25 million isk
I'd rather do that, honestly than grind it out for measly isk in pubs
I'm not wrong about Eve Online. If you do this in Eve, you'll see that ISK disappear into the black hole of no return as CCP goes into your wallet and takes away the amount of money you farmed from your alts in this manner. I expect CCP to do the same with Dust if they haven't already.

You're correct on the difference between Dust and Eve. However, Eve Online's economy will one day merge with that of Dust and that will affect everyone on both sides. Therefore it makes sense to establish the same policy about this issue in Dust like they do in Eve.
Notice that the key part of this issue is the economy. Dust doesn't have one yet, but it will soon and when it comes it will be impacted by this exploit.
PS: Don't underestimate the genius of the inhabitants of New Eden. If there is an exploit, they will find it and "exploit it".
