If it's not VAC banned, it could be the mobile authenticator causing problems if you have both accounts tied to one phone number. If it's not that, you'll probably just need to contact Steam support. A user forum can't really help with account bugs.
You have a permanent game ban. You got it from cheating. And yes, there are CSGO cheats for MAC if that story is even true.
When you have a permanent gameban or VAC, all the items from that game are locked, meaning you cannot trade or transfer them. You can show them off to bots though.
You aren't entirely true, and suddenly treating him as someone who is negligible because you so much as scented a client for an unfair advantage was quite a disrespectful move on your behalf. Two greifing bans (game bans) will result in a permanent game ban, and while in this game ban's time period, all trading for the game is disallowed, and if it's permanent, then your items are locked to you account. This does mean that the account is more useless than a VAC banned one but that's something that doesn't even enter the realm of the issue here. If you have a permanent ban (VAC or otherwise) then you are never going to be able to see that knife unless you are in the inspect window (or in game on non-VAC servers if it was a VAC and not Global ban).
All Game bans that show up on a users profile are permanent.
Griefing bans weren't permanent after two offensives when the OP made there post.
So yes the account being caught cheating was the only way to get the ban.
