Did the dupe, sent friends 1mil each, they got WIPED!

This will not be too surprising if your mule accounts got nailed too and you're totally broke, but it will really suck if you sent creds to friends and they got wiped out.
Everyone was talking about how if you moved the credits to mules you'd be fine. Well, double-check again!
Yesterday I received the updated message about how they are taking the credits out of my account for participating in the dupe. I'm sure you've all seen it, it looks something like this:
One of my buddies (who did not receive a 1-week ban, NONE OF THESE GUYS DID THE DUPE), logged on this morning to find that both his 50 republic toons and the lowbie empire alt were completely wiped out on credits. His republic 50 (which received no credits from me) was reduced from about 350K to 0 credits, the lowbie alt empire toon had about 650K and was reduced to 71K (yeah, odd huh, they reduced that one to more credits than the 50 republic toon that received none).
The other two guys haven't logged in yet, but I'll update on if their credits were modified as well.
I'm still banned with the rest of you guys until Saturday (support said the accounts that received the ban emails on the 13th are re-enabled on the 21st), so I have no clue what they reset my characters credits to, but if you guys have any friends you sent creds to, or your mules, and you've received the email about how you're having credits removed, post here.
ADDENDUM - Things to note:
1.) These 3 friends received their 1 million credits each through the trade window, face to face. Not through mail, not through AH.
2.) One of the 3 friends who has not logged on yet, was given an additional million to his republic 50 from my empire 50, he put up an item on the neutral Nar Shadda GTC for 1 million credits which I bought.
UPDATE: Friend 2 of 3 logged on, he is the one who received a million in trade window, and also a million to his republic 50 from me buying an item through the Nar Shadda GTC. Friend 1 and 2 were both wiped to 0 (ZERO) credits, including their legit credits, on their 50 toons. Friend 1 had about 350K legit, friend 2 had about 650K legit. The 2500 I mentioned earlier was actually not what the devs left on his account, but what he picked up off the mailbox this morning from an ended GTC sale. They were both set to 0 credits, and had to queue for WZ's, couldn't even travel off planet.
These devs are morons IMO.

I sent each of my buddies newbie empire toons 1 mil each after doing this to help them level up. They already had 50 republic alts on the same account, same server.Dear Customer
We are contacting you regarding your account for Star Wars™: The Old Republic™.
We refer to our recent correspondence to you regarding the 1 week suspension of this account due to your participation in the exploit, specifically exploiting the vendors within the game to generate currency or items in a way that is unintended by design.
Given the nature of this exploit it was deemed necessary to investigate the matter further, having reviewed your account we can see that your account used this exploit to generate excessive amounts of credits and as such we will now be removing the said credits from your account with immediate effect.
