<p>there's also the fact that Sugou knows the SAO systems because ALO is uses SAO's code base. also</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Once «Sword Art Online» (SAO) was cleared, thus disabling the security of the SAO servers, he was able to hack into the SAO server via router and reroute the minds of three hundred SAO players including Asuna, to ALfheim Online.</p>

<p>i would assume Sugou would know to reroute the minds without drawing suspicion to or linking it back to the ALO servers or himself so even is Kayaba could do anything, it would proably be mitigating the damage (ie. less players get transfered). also <em>Hollow Fragment</em> would suggest that Sugou had Admin permissions in SAO as well so assuming Kayaba didn't have Super Admin anything Kayaba could do to stop Sugou he could just undo</p>

i would assume Sugou would know to reroute the minds without drawing suspicion to or linking it back to the ALO servers or himself so even is Kayaba could do anything, it would proably be mitigating the damage (ie. less players get transfered). also *Hollow Fragment* would suggest that Sugou had Admin permissions in SAO as well so assuming Kayaba didn't have Super Admin anything Kayaba could do to stop Sugou he could just undo
