The flip side of this story is ... How would you feel if someone swiped a copy of your cc, started an apple developer account, did a bunch of review freud and then got you kicked out of the app store. I think there are some serious issues around due process with account termination. If something like this was sent originally this would be a non issue. > We detected freud from account X that is linked using your credit card number to account Y. ... bla bla bla freud is bad ... respond within N hours or have your account terminated.

Your hypothetical doesn't match reality. The accounts were linked through more than just the CC, and the CC wasn't stolen anyway (presumably Kapeli didn't change the CC on his account, and the charge for the new account was never contested). And there's probably more than just the CC and test devices anyway, Apple probably used things like detecting that a computer used with one account was used to create the other, or the creator of the second account was currently logged in using the apple ID of the first, or something like that (but they probably don't go into detail about this because they don't want to tell fraudsters how to avoid detection).
