PayPal doesn't care. A lot of artists use it for commissions, since it's really the easiest way to send money from person to person, and I've heard so many horror stories of artists getting their accounts locked for no apparent reason. Some of em get their accounts back after making a big enough fuss on Twitter, but most don't.

Re: PayPal blocked Flipper Zero account with $1.3M
#12What's the safest way to transfer money relatively anonymously nowadays? by relatively I mean that I don't care if gov/police knows, but the person who sends/receives money doesn't know me, I just don't want people from games to know me I've used paypal account with random name like Snarky Snark and managed to transfer like 300usd, but I'm worried that the next time they may block me somehow
> transfer money relatively anonymously nowadays
Monero and that's pretty much it
Russian banks are managing deposits in etherium, and if you want you could send money over in alt-coins, bounce it around through other alt coins some and then retrieve it elsewhere, issue is that you will lose a fair bit on the exchanges with the rates, transaction fees etc
Also, you will need atleast a visa/mastercard internationally enabled card associated to a bank to your name to do any of that. Do that, or buy it personally/insitu from someone

I would say what the main issue here is what PayPal allowed them to establish a business account (June 7th) and happily took money from their customers. Now both the company AND it's customers are fuc^W scammed out of their money. Seems like Stripe doesn't have a problem with them (because they are incorporated in Delaware, not in Russia?)
They have been US company long before the war. You are just saying they are affiliated with Russia just because they have many Russian employees? That's right?
Wasn't the company started by a Native Russian? I remember the kickstarter. https://www.linkedin.com/in/zhovner

So was Google by Sergey Brin, who was born in Russia, so what? :)

#15Probably because they are a russian company [0]. Yes they have an Inc. in the US but most likely the money goes to Russia. They are violating some sanctions. 0, https://twitter.com/flipper_zero/status/1503384490026151938 0, https://www.flipperdevices.com/jobs
Or could it be because of their product? https://flipperzero.one
I’d not be shocked if their product danced somewhere on the line of legality. In a similar way that as it’s illegal to own lock pick set in some states, which can be also considered a personal pentesting hardware.

He was not a Russian citizen living in Russia during that time. So there is a huge difference.

They are not Russian taxpayers. Also half of the team is Ukrainian. And the main issue is the silence from PayPal and complete lack of communication.

They had a similar issue with Stripe few months ago which was partly resolved (Stripe unblocked 70% of money which was enough to them to go on with production).
