You don’t allow refunds… your “service” exists to prey on the lonely and you charge huge fees. Shocked they would deplatform such a noble service.

That sounds like they're concerned about money laundering/fraud/crime rather than the issue being crowdfunding itself. The basic statement of not being able to talk about it nor amend it is pretty much the banker code phrase for being dropped due to AML. This happens to people - including victims of crime - where Suspicious Activity Reports are sent to the Treasury by financial institutions and along with that being banned without the financial institution lawfully able to discuss the matter further with the owner of the banned account.

#13It gets tiring to see time after time again that the best way to reach out to Stripe seems to be through HN. In the tech bubble, it often seems like Stripe is the only option, but Stripe has shown that it's willing to shut people out of their business and with vague explanations, short timelines and no way to reach out so someone who has decision power. Is there no competitor that we can flock to that is more trustwo…
The “Stripe support failures” that end up on HN always seem to be sketchy or even fraudulent businesses trying to rally public opinion to force stripe to support them even though they’re against the ToS and could get Stripe banned from Visa/Mastercard/etc.
So it goes with this one, which seems associated with sex workers and unfortunately the payment networks are prudes from the 1700s about that sort of thing.

#14HN isn't your personal whinging service.
