Writing unauthorized software modifications for commercial software is not illegal, making your accusation of criminal activity doesn't make sense. Unless the bot also made copies of the software, this is a civil matter and probably at worst a breech of contract.
However, even if someone authored the bot, unsubstantiated accusations have no place in civilized society. If accusations are being made, you need to provide evidence 0of the actual bot, not hearsay based on merely an account name. That evidence needs to be presented with at lest some amount of due process where the accused has the opportunity to face their accuser and rebut the claim.
