Since the game is still in early access, will this be a systemic change or some ad hoc justice to create headlines?

They're ramping up to get to 1.0 so I wouldn't be surprised to see more of this as we get closer. They can't be too harsh though because they still need people to test and find these kinds of exploits, they probably just banned the people that accumulated tons and tons of money doing it.

That is, according to the post on their forums, exactly what they did. The people who were clearly just doing it to grind money as fast as possible without regard for the effects it had on the servers and without attempting to report the results of this "testing" (because they weren't testing, or even playing arguably) got a suspension, not a perma ban.
