I think a money laundering flag in particular is unlikely; if so, consider how we got here:
- Customer is likely not a money launderer, or he wouldn't have posted this transcript as evidence.
- How many money launderers buy cloud computing credits with their dirty money? How would there have been money activity at all on the free tier?
- Who's doing the flagging? An internal list of people Oracle thinks is shady? That's concerning. Or actual law enforcement? (See points 1 and 2.)
Rather I bet it's some internal sweep that Oracle thinks needs similar treatment as money laundering. Whatever process managed to flag these accounts clearly casts way too wide a net.
