In recent weeks, players of phantasy star universe have taken to the streets with pitchforks and kinves against people who they believe are glitching grinders. While a great majority of those accused of glitching grinder S+10's are actually guilty, some people have been wrongfully accused, having their names and reputations destroyed because of false accusations.
In response to this situation, my friends and I developed an elaborate scheme which we called codename purple (named after a small purple cast, which would be the star of our show). My friend was also annoyed at the racism on the official Phantasy Star Universe forums against the Chinese, so we gave this character a Chinese name called Xiwang.
We devised a plan to get about 64 million meseta in 3 days without any help from anyone. Nobody would party with this character, nobody would trade with this character. We also wanted to make the 64 million before Xiwang were to hit level 60. Under these requirements, we had very few options to consider, but we did find a way to get 62 million meseta in 3 days.
The plan was simple. We planned to use Xiwang to farm badges on Innocent Girl, trade those badges for pushans, grind the pushans to 6 and sell them her shop. The plan actually worked a lot better than I had anticipated, and after only 2 and a half days Xiwang had 62 million meseta from selling 6/10 Pushans.
After Xiwang had made all of that money, the idea was to purchase as many S+10 grinders as possible. I was able to buy 93 of them. After the S+10 grinders were bought, I put them in my player shop for 650k each. People flooded into my room, good and bad accusing me of being a glitcher when in fact I had done nothing wrong.
I recorded Xiwang's adventures and threw them up on youtube for anyone who is interested. My colleagues and I are still studying the findings of this experiment, and will be posting the findings once we agree on them in a matter of days.
For now, these are the highlights of the Adventure of Xiwang:

The above is a playlist of all of the pertinent videos recorded while on Xiwang. Obviously I did not record myself running through Innocent girl 1000 times to get badges, but I did record myself trading in the badges to prove that I got them.

In the above video, Xiwang finally gets 61 million meseta, purchases grinders, and throws the grinders into her shop.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Is it possible to get a stack of S+10 grinders after 3 days of playing the game?
Yes, it is entirely possible, although obviously not probable. The person would have to really know what they were doing.
How did you replenish your stock of S+10 grinders once they all sold?
If they would all sell, I would simply use the money I got from S+10 selling to purchase more S+10's and throw them up in my shop. This would also make it seem like I was replenishing my stock, I guess.
Did anyone report you to Sega because they thought you were cheating?
Yup. People reported me, people accused me of cheating on the message boards. As a matter of fact, my name is still on a list on their official forums as a cheater, when I have done no such thing.
I think someone is cheating! What do I do?
Send a ticket to help.sega.com. Don't harass that player, don't break the ToS yourself in an attempt to get that player to stop cheating. Let Sega handle the situation.
