I've cheated before i admit it, but im willing to re-buy the game and start over 100% legit, because i really love this game and have over 2k hours on ps3, If i rebuy the game on a new account i will be banned because of my IP for the reason "Linked Account" after only a while playing, is there a way of me proving my innocence on the new account? or will i just waste my time and money? 

really hoping for a straight answer and not a copy paste of you saying "Ban appeal on our discord" 

thank you for your time

My close friend from uni has been playing bf4 since like forever on ps3-ps4 , same as me, he then bought it on pc and when he got bored he decided to cheat to give himself a boost... anyways he got banned 2 times and then quit....half a year later a bought his pc, re-bought bf4 in a brand new account, i played a bit and then got banned with the reason ''Linked Account''. Fair enough right?? No. When i tried to make a ticket for ban appeal they instantly rejected it and said like ''nice try tho.'' or something like that and also that everything checks in and denied the appeal in a matter of seconds. What should i do next? How can i prove my innocence?
