It's possible this is an account suspension (i.e. "We don't want you to have an account anymore because you do XYZ"), but it looks more like a fraud / financial flag (i.e. "We think someone has broken into your account and we're holding your funds temporarily.") As evidence, they still contact him about new subscribers and his page is still online, which it isn't in other cases when Patreon suspends an account.
Still an indictment of their communications process, and still a financial risk to the person, but it's a little odd that literally all the replies in that Twitter thread are people talking about Milo Yiannopoulous. Even if Patreon decided it wanted to go all in on hosting controversial political figures, they'd presumably still have some kind of fraud checks, so the points really do seem to be unrelated.
