i'm also very puzzled that the explanatory links posted above are not accessible to me and generate the following error message:

Not sure why that might be. The
Account audit / fraud issues - Busted selling miles / SWU / VIP, etc (consolidated) thread is active, and I have been able to access it - maybe clear your cache, and maybe cookies?
The problem with those effectuating trades who were AAdvantage members is AA has been enforcing their
AAdvantage Terms and Conditions avidly this year. In part:
At no time may AAdvantage mileage credit or award tickets be purchased, sold or bartered. Any such mileage or tickets are void if transferred for cash or other consideration. Violators (including any passenger who uses a purchased or bartered award ticket) may be liable for damages and litigation costs, including American Airlines attorneys' fees incurred in enforcing this rule.
They AA Corporate Security people consider any trading or quid pro quo bartering.
