I have heard a lot of stories of this happening, hope they don't continue to get away with it. I try to avoid using PayPal personally.

The lawsuit appears to have been organized by Chris Moneymaker, a professional poker player who won the 2003 World Series of Poker. Moneymaker said that PayPal placed a hold on $12,000 of his money, and he threatened to sue the company. “Anyone else that got funds confiscated by PayPal feel free to reach out to my lawyers whom [sic] are starting a class action suit,” he said in a tweet last May.

Chris Moneymaker! Haven't heard that name in a hot second.

You guys realize it's the cops/feds doing this, not Paypal, right? The victim probably said something mean on social media and is now being targeted by the gov.

Our economies are hiccupping.. this is a bad sign.. everyone is busy robbing everyone..

Just wait until the entire economic machine seizes up.

I am waiting for the next major Ponzi scheme to implode, which will cause the dominos to begin dropping.

The entire world will erupt into war.

Children make jokes while the entire world economies are crashing.

Really important things in your life are for some parts invisible. But I'd guess you either aren't the kind of person or not at a point in your life to see it this way.

How often do you imagine me reading this here about myself already ?

The place where cognitive dissonance, fringe and abstruse things for many people start, is where I actually live.
