I think Blizzard can buy the tokens themselves with gold they generate.

  BTW, this is something which CCP (who have a similar system for EVE online) very explicitly do not do. They make sure that purchased tokens are either destroyed by players, converted into gametime, or the associated profits are donated to charity.

    The fact that the EVE tokens even can be destroyed is always a source of amusement. Just google "eve killmail plex" and you'll find quite a few examples of players getting blown up while carrying thousands of dollars worth of tokens.

      It's especially amusing considering there's literally no reason whatsoever to put them in a ship's corgohold, let alone undock with them.

        Price differences between regions mean you can make tens of millions of ISK profit in a few trips. I have variously used a shuttle, covert ops frigate and interceptor to ferry billions of ISK worth at a time, and I am one of the smallest players in the market. To get caught you have to do something foolish like buy heaps of PLEX, then undock with the character that bought them in Jita, during a wardec, and not have an instant undock bookmark.
