Policy on GDKP ninjas.

I'm curious as to why the policy regarding GDKP ninjas is so vague. When 24 people report the raid leader who has stated it's a gdkp run, and that gold will be distributed at the end of the run. Why can't the gold be handed out by GMs later? Can GMs no longer access logs to see what happened?
People claim they've received gold in the mail before from resolved issues. However I've just been talking to a GM regarding a recent pot ninja, and they say that gold redistribution won't happen and that may be due to policy changing recently. Hiding the policy behind actions regarding these scenarios only helps the scammers and hurts the game in the long run by possibly losing subscribers or just encouraging more ninjas.
