This happened to me when I was in college- I had been running a small forum and it made enough to help with school books but not much else. They left the ads running on my site until I attempted to withdraw the money, at which point they suspended me with no recourse. This was the first of many very disappointing encounters with Google, and I always try to stress to people that if they are at all reliant on Google for money they are basically playing the lottery with their livelihood. I'll be the first to admit I'm still bitter over this, but as a college student with not a lot of money Google's decision to steal from me had a real impact.
