Can you sue them? Not likely. I'd bet dollars to donuts that their actions are fully within the Terms of Service you agreed to. How much money they made off of you in the past is immaterial. As is how much money you might have made had they permitted you to continue. They're interested in their longterm profits, which means maintaining the health of their ecosystem, and if that means pissing you off (and a number of other people in the discussion forum), I have a feeling they're OK with that.

What really annoying is that, they are closing an account because it may create invalid clicks. with that all previous income goes too. so, i didn't violate their terms but i might. as you've said i'm sure they have it in their terms that they would not pay me. but, shouldn't businesses be ethical at least on the money side? Why they don't say "here is your money, we don't want to work with you anymore". Isn't what they do is a plain robbery?

You don't know, and they don't have to tell you. as you've said i'm sure they have it in their terms that they would not pay me. but, shouldn't businesses be ethical at least on the money side? Is it really unethical for them to follow rules they told you about in advance? You knew, or should have known, that at any point they could shut you down, and keep the unpaid money you "earned". Why they don't say "here is your money, we don't want to work with you anymore". Isn't what they do is a plain robbery? It sure doesn't look like robbery to me. Look on the bright side-- at least they are not trying to get you to pay them back money they may feel they improperly paid you for invalid clicks in the past.

    I'm not disputing you, they can do what ever they wish. but my account never closed. i've had only 2 issues. one was a single user content on the site which i removed within minutes. the other was number of ads on the page was 2 instead of 1.

      It is robbery. There are a bunch of holier than thou tard on this site who will do anything to play devils advocate to defend their ego and world view. However Admob clearly lied to publishers and deleted them when no click-fraud was involved. They do not have the right to promise payout and then revoke their payments just because they feel like it. They may have a bs clause in their contracts but they are acting in bad faith and have violated basic human courtesy. They are scum.
