Recovered an old 2018 account with 20k Robux spent by the person who stole the account. Is there a chargeback enforcement risk for my alts? (2017 and 2019?)

Hi everyone, I need some realistic technical insight on a billing/moderation scenario.

Back in 2022, I lost a personal Roblox account created in 2018, The robber used it for years and made several Robux purchases through 2023, 2024, and late 2025. According to the account transaction history, he made a quick succession of purchases on December 30, 2025, totaling around 17,440 Robux (bringing his overall total to over 20k Robux). All of these Robux were spent entirely inside this 2018 account on gamepasses and in-game items (MM2, Flee, Adopt Me). No robux was transfered to my accounts

Recently, I used my original creation email (OG email) to successfully recover the account through Roblox Support. The recovery went smoothly, and the account is now back under my control. Out of precaution, I transferred my old in-game items to my clean main accounts, completely logged out of the 2018 account from my main devices,

My clean main accounts (from 2017 and from 2019) have already been moved to a completely new, clean email address. However, they obviously share the same historical OG email footprint from years ago since I created them.

My absolute main concern is a potential billing chargeback from the buyer/card owner. Since we are currently in late June 2026, it has been about 175 days since those late December 2025 purchases.

Based on Roblox's backend behavior and past chargeback cases, what are the realistic risks here? If the buyer manages to pull off a credit card chargeback at the very end of the 180-day bank window, will the resulting termination hit ONLY the debalanced 2018 account where the money was spent, or is there a real automated system threat that could trigger a linked enforcement ban on my 2017/2019 clean accounts via historical OG email links or device logs, even though they never touched a single cent of that money?

Thanks in advance for the help."

Recuperei uma conta antiga de 2018 com 20k Robux comprado e gasto pela pessoa que roubou a conta

Oi pessoal, preciso de algumas informações realistas sobre um cenário de cobrança/moderação.

Em 2022, eu perdi uma conta pessoal do Roblox criada em 2018. O ladrão usou ela por anos e fez várias compras de Robux durante 2023, 2024 e final de 2025. De acordo com o histórico de transações da conta, ele fez uma rápida sequência de compras no dia 30 de dezembro de 2025, totalizando cerca de 17.440 Robux (levando o total geral dele para mais de 20k Robux). Todos esses Robux foram gastos inteiramente dentro dessa conta de 2018 em gamepasses e itens do jogo (MM2, Flee, Adopt Me, pls donate e acessórios de avatar). Nenhum Robux foi transferido para as minhas contas.

Recentemente, usei meu e-mail original de criação (e-mail OG) para recuperar com sucesso a conta através do suporte do Roblox. A recuperação foi tranquila, e a conta agora está de volta sob meu controle. Como precaução, transferi meus itens antigos do jogo para minhas contas principais limpas, desconectando completamente da conta de 2018 dos meus dispositivos principais.

Minhas contas principais limpas já foram movidas para um novo e-mail completamente limpo. No entanto, elas obviamente compartilham a mesma pegada histórica de e-mail OG, já que eu as criei.

Minha maior preocupação é um potencial estorno de cobrança do comprador/proprietário do cartão. Já que estamos atualmente no final de junho de 2026, já se passaram cerca de 180 dias desde aquelas compras no final de dezembro de 2025.

Com base no comportamento do Roblox e em casos passados de chargeback, quais são os riscos realistas aqui? Se o comprador conseguir realizar um estorno de cartão de crédito no final da janela de 180 dias do banco, a consequente terminação afetará SOMENTE a conta de 2018 onde o dinheiro foi gasto, ou existe uma ameaça real de sistema automatizado que poderia acionar uma proibição vinculada em minhas contas limpas de 2017/2019 através de links históricos de e-mail OG ou logs de dispositivo, mesmo que elas nunca tenham tocado um único centavo desse dinheiro?

Obrigado pela ajuda antecipadamente."
