Oh! They did investigate, the " invalid clicks happened and don't ever email us again" was the result of the investigation. They decided that there was indeed click fraud, but would give me no other information what so ever. Nada! Not what happened, not why, nothing..."proprietary information."
I asked for a review, before I did any research into what has happened to other adsense user that were kicked out. I had no proof (logs) to back up my innocence because I didn't know better and didn't provide any. If I had they would have re-instated my account. But because I "knew" I didn't do anything wrong, I assumed that they would have a human review things and re-instate my account. I was shocked. I was even more shocked at the rude statement not to email them again. They basically said any future emails from me would be ignored. They banned all my domains from ever using adsense again. If I sold them, I have no idea if it would affect the new owners.
My after research told me that I should have attached any logs I had and apologized for what happened with an explanation. At the time, I had none, because I didn’t know people(competition) could be that mean. I just told them there had to be a mistake and I had no idea what could have happened, please review. I sealed my own coffin so to speak.
