Seems every week a shady enterprise that got its stripe account locked down is on the front page complaining about stripe while being vague / evasive about what it is they actually sell.
One person once a week is still shouldn't be hard to deal with, and whenever it turns out that that person was shady, it's actually great PR for Stripe.
But stripe never talks about individual customers publicly so every one of these is a hit to stripe's reputation.
Also, the worry was that if word got out that HN gets you secret access to support at companies then it would get overused and that access would dry up.
I'm already at the point where even if someone legitimately innocent gets swept up in a stripe ban I just assume they are another scoundrel trying one last Hail Mary attempt here to get their account back.
