This - and if I'm the competitor who paid for the event, I'm asking for money back or a credit on a future event. I've actually seen this done with success. So for them it is definitely a money losing situation caused by Virool.
Can't say I've ever seen someone banned for doing something like this - and events seem to always have someone doing something controversial - so I don't see it happening. More likely a "stern talking to" as my Dad would say. Imagine if Virool got huge and came back the next year wanting to by a 20x20 booth - I doubt anyone is going to stop them.
Ultimately, that's why people do controversial tactics - little downside to doing them.
