What can Amazon do tho what laws have been broken?

They can ban them for TOS violations. Good luck suing.

Exactly my thinking they can ban the account then what hope they dont create another one.

They can identify new accounts with the same behavior patterns easily enough if they really want to. Amazon can absolutely shut them down.

I meant they have no recourse against Amazon refusing to host them.
