someone paid me for a class i'm teaching with a credit card. i withdrew the money to my bank account (out of paypal). a few days later, paypal reversed the deposit, swiping the money back. except that reversal doesn't show up anywhere in their system. it's gone.

in my experience, any 'modern' fintech company will close your account and refuse your business if you write the word "bitcoin" anywhere on your application, regardless of what your actual relationship to "bitcoin" is

we originally had an LLC name with "bitcoin" in the title, but had to change it after three different banks refused to allow us to open an account

I didn't put it anywhere on my business description, but they asked for more info about the sales I had made through them, so I sent in information that had the word 'bitcoin' on it. game over, account banned

this payment reversal doesn't seem related but i honestly have no idea. there's no info on it anywhere in their system.

I've signed up for an account with them for future payments, but i doubt they're gonna pay me back the money PayPal has disappeared 🥲

Yeah, from both. It's possible someone disputed a payment but there's zero record of anything on my account. It looks like they've paid me out everything and the balance is $0

I suspect FBI arm-twisted them into a drug war type extremist anti-laundering policy. You’re basically the victim of a swatting type thing where they break into a random persons home and kill them if they’re black or their dog if another race. Clear fourth amendment violation.
