What they are possibly going after is huge networks (e.g. freehosts) suddenly displaying a link on every subdomain/subpage, high PR sites linking to sites sites without any authority or trust...that's easy to detect.
They are banning clients from adsense with a bot, too, I don't see a reason why they should handle paid links penalties by manual verification only. In the past they always had a "kill them all and then sort out the innocents" strategy.
In court, there is a presumption of innocence, for google it's the other way round.
