I recommended to SIA that they pay the player anyway - it wasn't the player's fault that his account was re-enabled. Still though, the player's knowledge that his account was closed muddies the water. While I would have handled the dispute differently from SIA, I cannot say their decision in this matter was unjustifiable.
