I would definitely get in touch with Alfred to let him know what's going on. If he can't help you then he might be able to get you with somebody who can.

Hey guys, I know XE/Michael personally-- he's devoted almost all of his free time (for years) improving player experiences with Counter-Strike: Source. There's absolutely no way a real cheat is involved here. Unless his account was stolen/masqueraded by someone and means unknown to him, this is a false positive. As a plugin developer, this is really scary-- developers need to be able to work on their plugins without fear of losing all of their Steam games (and having to make a plea against their reputation). Since the Steam support groups are wildly unsympathetic for these cases, it would be tremendous help if someone from Valve could forward this thread internally to help us track down how this false positive was caused. It would prevent a lot of confusion if we could pin down what actually caused this specific VAC ban. I can't imagine this would be anything triggered by EventScripts (or we'd have a lot more bans), but if it's caused by the GunGame Utils plugin or something similar, the community needs to understand this risk and change their processes accordingly.
