Unless things have changed, you can buy Platinum at most stations in 31 Aquilae B
Yes, if the Faction doesn't care about certain laws, you can.
Example of an Alliance Station but run by a Freeman Faction :

Went into Isinor with a FDL and a Vulture. FDL took out the shields on the Cow9 and launched 2 limpets. One was destroyed one connected. 30 seconds later 'syphoning failed' message. Took out the cargo doors, no loot. This thing had 4 Resonating Capacitors and 4 Antiquities and it would not give them up for love nor laser.
If anyone can get the limpets to work it maybe worth it.

It was banned because there was some AI war, I expect one day we will face their ancestors and it going to be on big bloody and oily mess.
Got some Hafnium 178 and trust me it was hard work but no one got killed.
