There's no guarantee that making the sale will prevent the ban.

    Yeah but if they sell then it's someone else stuck holding the bags so why wouldn't they?

    because its not in the corporation's interest to incur the expense and organizational disruption if they're still going to get banned anyway - profit is maximized by continuing with business as usual instead of spending resources attempting to reach compliance
