Unless your profile is publicly available or people report your account for abuse, then SAM will have had nothing to do with this.
And if you read up a little bit on VAC you'd know that it's a delayed ban, and if you used LMAOBOX, then that's likely the cause.
Be it a day or a few weeks, it doesn't matter, it's automated - has nothing to do with reports (if you're hacking), if you hacked using something they are aware of, they will ban you.
That's just how it is, and before you ask.
There is no documentation about how long the VAC-delays are.
How do I know this? I've used SAM so many times, for so many games to do quite a few things, and seeing as there is no actual game running, then VAC isn't active.
It's POSSIBLE, but highly unlikely that anyone will suffer a ban from it.
(What I do too some of my alts)
1. Get a profile picture
2. Legit name (Not a stupid name like xx0UBERSNIPER0xx) (or stealing gir489's names *Cough* like I've seen so much times *sigh* lmaobox users.........
3. Play time. Get an alt and idle for 1 week = 168 hours played.
4. Premium account (If you want to waste money)
5. Steam Friends ( Have some steam friends) (unless you want to be forever alone.
6. Items. Make yourself SWAG.
7. Profile. Setup it up....

No clue why you guys are scared of SAM.
If you were using LMAObox that's most likely why you were banned.
I've been using SAM For every game I own, and I haven't had any kind of ban on my account in the 2 years I've had it.
I thought "All VAC bans are permanent" was in valve's VAC policy.
SAM doesn't cause bans. I used it ages ago to get Lvl 6 perks on Killing Floor. So you're safe with SAM.
Dont hack or cheat in anyway , or you will feel the burn
(off topic) sephiee
Deadman Wonderland was such a good anime
Since everyone seems this retarded, I should tell you LMAObox is one of the worst hacks to use, you'll get banned 100% guaranteed, it's such a piece of shit. As for Valve, they will find you eventually, they can't watch everything 24/7, if you're reported enough for hacks VAC will just straight ban you.
