The other way a competitor can harm is through manual clicking, but with 300k page views, a human can not do enough impact I think.
Maybe adsense might believe that clicks generated from ur site are not valuable to their customers and they want to termenitate the account (even though that is kind of ilegal, but with the whole proprietary secret monitoring systems , there is no way of knowing)
Due to the proprietary nature of our monitoring system, we cannot disclose any specific details of these clicks.
This is the most evil sentence I have seen in my life and I really have experienced a lot of evil.
It is simply impossible that this sentence is compatible with Google's "Do no evil" principle, which Google is showing off.
I am in deep shock. Scenes from the world war 2 come to my mind where people were killed without giving reasons. I am really in deep shock :-(
There's nobody standing over you with a gun to your head making you agree to the TOS; if you don't like the wording then don't agree to it.
Simple.
I would imagine that the complainant did some dirty tricks and thought he'd never get caught. But he got caught. :)
Google is not going to can someone's account for no good reason: it's not in their best interest to do so. Contrariwise it's not wise for them to keep a fraudster on the system and give them a "second chance" to game their system and possibly succeed.

Google Adsense gives more money to webmasters than other programs. It is simply impossible to ignore it because if your competition is using Adsense then they have more resources than you - if you don't use it - to better compete against you!
In other words: for most webmasters using Adsense is a must. That's the harsh reality.
And regarding "he probably was guilty" I can tell you that I have heard of several cases where people were in holidays or in business trips and never ever would click themselves - it was clearly a case of competition working on destroying their sites, but Google fall for it and terminated them.
I know even more but I don't want to violate TOS of this forum. I just hope that Google will be reasonable and will also not terminate me. If Google would do it I don't know what I would do. Go mad? Probably.
If it's not the publisher doing it then, by any stretch of the imagination, it's going to be *another* publisher trying to get the first party banned; in which case the rogue publisher (second party) is putting their own Adsense standing in jeopardy.
Like the old saying goes: The jails are just full of innocent victims :)

Your logic is cunning, but what if this second rogue publisher has been already terminated by Google and he has nothing to lose? You know what does it mean? It means that Google is terminating innocent people because totally independent other rogue webmasters want them to be terminated! And long-reaching consequence of this is one: sooner or later some genius will write a program (something like Agent Smith or Neo) that will totally destroy the Google Matrix. Either Google must change quickly or Neo or Agent Smith are coming...
