I hate to say it but in the mean time CCP should consider banning (at least temporarily) accounts of people who do this.

Nah. That's a lot of effort for very little reward. You're talking earning 250k ISK per character, waiting ten or more hours every time, for every character on every account; if you're doing it on multiple accounts it would make it even more difficult to ban people over.
That's a lot of time you'd have to invest when you could simply run an ambush match in BPO gear (everyone has at least four suits with nothing but BPO gear) and get that much, if not more, in less than an hour. It's not that big of a problem.

It's not that big of a problem. I'm going to run an experiment at some point in the next couple days just to attempt to demonstrate in video how much ISK someone could earn, mostly because I'm curious. I'll make sure to update this when I do.
You have fun with that. Just a word of advice though, assuming you're aiming for 100,000,000 a week, you're going to need to do this with ~57 characters a day. That's a lot of patience that I don't have for just arbitrarily logging into/out-of 19 dummy accounts.

Big deal, they can take more time creating a character to get 250k ISK or they can AFK. Either way it is not worth any time even thinking about this. Move on, nothing to see here. 
Well, let's not be harsh here. I get where he's coming from and, trust me, I understand the concern. It's just that right now the new player experience is total **** and if we marginalize the starting ISK when it's already hell just buying Skill Books early on, it's not going to be good for the game's health. Maybe when we have more of a natural flow of new players entering the game with a more entertaining, lasting experience combined with a healthy economy we can take it down a notch but at the moment it's a necessary, circumstantial evil.

Hahahaha. This is genuinely humorous and amusing.
Anyway, the only thing this would honestly do (if it were even a problem) would cause CCP to increase the prices on all the items to compensate or lower how much ISK a new player has, thusly hurting newer players. Beyond that, if it were seriously an issue, why isn't everyone doing it? Why isn't everyone running Prototype suits en masse? If this were honestly an issue with the in-game economy, wouldn't you think Protostomping wouldn't even be a thing because everyone is running Proto?
And if the gentleman from TSE is being sincere and his corporation is saving up billions of ISK for PC... Why aren't they in PC? Why aren't they curb-stomping everyone in Molden Heath with their limitless amount of ISK just pouring out of no-where?
Where are the statistics, the charts, the case studies that are showing that this is a major issue if not because it simply doesn't exist? It's a solution looking for a problem. Ultimately, if this does become a problem (which I will solely look toward DUST Fiend to blame for popularizing the idea  ) the easiest and best solution, imo, would be to have characters start with 0 ISK and gain the 250,000 after completing the tutorial in the NPE.
Anyway, last thing I want to say is this: Are you -honestly- hurting for ISK right now? I mean, is it so bad that you are resorting toward arbitrarily biomassing characters for the sake of it solely to get ISK..?

I dunno, I suppose we did need to make Log-Off Simulator 2014 at some point.
