If you’re one of the employees who sign up for this, beware. Facebook will surely sue this guy and the payment paper trail will be the first thing he’s required to give over in discovery. I don’t see how he can guarantee you’ll be anonymous for long.
On what grounds could they sue?
If this makes money, big tech could open a lucrative market for themselves, suspending more and more accounts, and requesting higher and higher "priority fees" to unsuspend them. (Hmm... somehow reminds me of organised crime...)

The employees are clearly engaging in fraud by doing non-work activities on the clock. The companies know this because they haven’t hired anyone to do customer service.
On one hand: an action virtually guaranteed to get you fired. On the other: $150 I used to work at FB and they have a team that tries to catch employees selling access like this. I can’t imagine risking that for what is essentially an hours pay for most tech roles there.

Appealing only sends you through a kafkaesque circle of hell of support staff who are unable to answer any questions or fix anything, they won't even tell you what exactly you violated or how to return into their good graces. It's effectively a black market th…
Yep. Absurd and completely common. There is pretty much no one to reach out to otherwise. Lost an account with several thousand dollars in it this way. I consider this straight up theft, and it's been like this for a long time.
I’m pretty sure people will be fired for doing this.
Talk about misaligned incentives. What’s stopping employees from intentionally messing with accounts to get paid to fix them.

But the person said they could "sue this guy". I can see how they would have a beef with their employee doing this, but don't see what grounds to sue "this guy"? Mind you, I know little of the US legal system outside Suits and other probably as incorrect shows.
