Yes you can get banned, and depending on what you do with the stolen account the authorities can be involved. Microsoft keeps a record of every Xbox an account has logged into on. If the person that got there account stolen gives Microsoft a ring, they would first lock the account so no one would use it and then they would open up a investigation, it usually takes ~2 weeks, and if the person which stole the account is found guilty, they get console banned, and get any accounts assigned with that Xbox banned. My friend got his account stolen and this is what they basically did.
