Yep, unfortunately, I saw a bunch of 98 overalls running around the Xbox One park last night.
The exploit that people used to get to 98 overall is a violation of article #7 in the code of conduct section of 2K17's terms of service.
2K can do whatever they want to people's accounts, including terminating their online functionality, once people violate the terms of service:

You are right that they can do what ever they want with accounts.
I disagree however that the glitch was a violation of #7. I would not call that a cheat (because it definitely wasnt an spider, robot or other program). Plus in this instance it wasnt an account or online termination. It was a seizer of goods (VC). So this would fall under Take Two's Virtual Currency, Vitrual Goods setion of their EULA (

Having said that Code of Conducts/EULAs do not override the law. Europe has some very strict consumer protections that Im willing to bet cause them to reverse their decision.
The ASA (Advertising Standards Authority ) has some pretty heavy power over there, and 2K is still working out kinks and still havent provided advertise modes/items (After Dark, Yeezy's, etc) that if people become vocal enough, will start investigating ( See No Man's Sky) (though admittedly this may be stretching it)
In any event I think 2K could have held firm with their decision, but if I had to guess their legal team weighed the options. Outside of that Im not sure why they reverted, unless the reset wave was not intended
