Why did Stripe allow a website selling stolen data to operate for years? Is their oversight/review that poor? Were they working with law enforcement all along

  I’m more interested in the fact that Stripe can have a customer entirely seized by the FBI and yet still just keep all the account info there ready to be accessed.

  They don't have any requirements on sellers that I was able to find. I was looking through their docs, to see if I could report some other fraudster to them for some obvious violations, but I think they don't care about payers at all. I couldn't even find an email contact, and I would have to register an account to talk to them, probably. They don't even send an independent payment verification to the payer. Very shady, compared to other payment processors I used. All of them at least send independent payment verifications with contact info and merchant details, in case something goes wrong.

    Huh? They have a whole page dedicated to restricted businesses. https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses https://stripe.com/restricted-businesses (This is in addition to the more generic "Don't do illegal things" language in their service agreement)

      I mean requirements like "you have to provide receipts / payment confirmation to your customers", etc. Anyway, I found the contact.
