It’s also worth remembering that running to social media and blaming ‘big bad Stripe/PayPal/Monzo’ for holding funds is part of the MO of fraudsters so it’s right that posts like these are treated with at least a reasonable degree of suspicion.
Having worked with companies in the fraud monitoring space I’d say that it’s likely that your case (new Stripe account starts taking loads of money for digital infoproduct) has fallen foul of an AML flag. The timeline for that is largely out of Stripe’s hands, but there are certain (legal) limitations on what you can be told about your case.
Rest assured though, it’s more trouble than it’s worth for Stripe to arbitrarily hold your money for no reason.
