iPhone developer Molinker has been banned from the App Store after hiring reviewers.
Molinker, who hired people to rate up their applications on the App Store has been caught after a friend of Glyn Evans sent an e-mail to Phil Schiller regarding the scam.
After receiving the e-mail, Apple has dropped all of the more than 1,000 applications from the App Store by that developer.
Phil Schiller later replied saying, "Yes, this developer's apps have been removed from the App Store and their ratings no longer appear either."
It is great to see Apple doing some investigative work to catch developers that choose to promote their applications through suspicious and questionable means.
