While Amazon didn't explain their action (only that they were "confident") his tweets explain some of the strategies he has to use in order publish from Nigeria. He could be linked to actually fraudulent accounts by accident through vpn, fake us addresses, or the US bank "mimic" service.
> I won't be publishing anymore. At least not while I'm on the continent. I don't think I'm supposed to. The obstacles I've faced on the path to this are indicating that. Firstly navigating payment and publishing at all, getting shut out of platforms when I put in the region I'm from, having to pretend to be from the US or somewhere in the West. Using services that mimic US bank accounts, Having to essentially, even literally lie I'm American, being unable to use PayPal, or the usual payment methods. This isn't even the first time I was banned. 1st was from Draft2Digital for being Nigerian
- tssva 5y agoBy his own admission he has been commiting fraudulent acts. Amazon made the right call.
