Apparently some players found a way to exploit a bug to dupe credits in game. They started distributing them. SOE found out, and banned those who duped the credits. Then they took it a step further and began banning all kinds of people who had the credits on them, many of whom were unaware that the credits they possesed were duped. I guess there is an in game system where a player may give another player money without trading. It got to the point where, according to what I heard, a player was banned for recieving duped credits for a sale at his NPC vendor.
It doesn't stop there, though. To protest the bannings of the innocent, many players on one of the servers gathered together in a city on one planet, and spammed messages demnading the reinstatement of the banned accounts. At least a few dozen, adn I've heard more than a hundred did this. It got to the point where SOE told everyone to desist, or the server would shut down. The people were randomly teleported all over the wolrd, some even into space. Then the servers were shut down.
