Yeah, they absolutely don't care. It cannot be hard to detect griefing and obnoxious cheating by just looking at player behavior. How hard can it be to detect 90000000000 in-game dollars to be added to players, how hard can it be to detect that someone is blowing up everyone in the server, ... They just don't care, and it's a shame because GTA V still holds up as a fantastic game even after all these years.

Don't give them ideas ;) You either get a small loan of a billion dollars from a friendly cheater, or they try to bleed your wallet dry with Shark Cards. Rockstar are incapable of coming up with a balanced and rewarding progression system because it's in direct conflict with their financial goals.
For what it's worth, I used to play GTA online a lot and was getting bored with it. For a last hurrah, I had my account hacked by a friend to give me billions. I bought all the stuff I wanted even though I was told to be careful with buying too much (as if I was money laundering).
I opened it up recently and my money was back to normal. I imagine I did something that got me detected. In all honesty, it was a blessing, because I realized I was only playing the game for the addictive grind and I didn't enjoy the game itself. The online mode is like a second job, and it's exacerbated by the highest rewards being specifically designed to grief new players. Rocket bikes with car seeking missiles really killed the game for me
Yeah, it's suspected a very common trigger for R*, for whatever reason, is depositing cash into your in-game bank account. You're far less likely to be banned if you only pay in cash.
