"Hi! We
Well, I got a reply.
"Hi! We received the complaint and are investigating. However, for privacy reasons, we cannot reveal the outcome of any action taken."
Guess in other words it means I'm never going to see that ce again.

Probably, and the reason why
Probably, and the reason why is because it's exploitable. Suppose there's scammer A and scammer B who know eachother in real life.
Scammer A uses a dynamic IP address/Proxies so he cannot be traced, makes a new account and "scams" scammer B for 4K ce. He wires the CE through alts on different accounts while his first account is banned on the spot. He might even "trade" it to himself through alts for a relatively useless item, like a calibur or buy something from a real player to get the "hot" Ce off his hands.
Scammer B then makes a complaint to OOO, and gets his Ce refunded.
Now OOO has to trace scammer A's CE over multiple transactions (this is hard), perhaps reverse trades or trace other items that were traded. If they can't, and scammer A gets away with it, both scammers just scammed OOO out of 4K energy and an hour investigating.
Most people abusing exploits aren't savvy scammers and don't know what OOO logs and keep the crowns on their character. It's easy for OOO to just reverse that (especially if the economy's balance is in danger).

Like the disclaimer says, there's a large chance they can't help you. A time and date so they can review chat logs would help.
In any case, it's actually forbidden to post player names on the forums in this context, it's called defaming I believe. Unless you remove the name yourself an Admin WILL remove it for you.
You can also contact support for a general inquiry on what you should do in these situations, but in general you should let the trader unbind his own items and be more careful in the future.
