  Again, it doesn't matter. No serious provider will ban customers without a fair warning. Same as Namecheap when it ended services for Russian customers with a 6-day notice.

      Exactly. “It doesn’t matter” is what Mailchimp would say to former customers who are unhappy that they have been deprived of a vector to perpetuate Ponzi schemes. And to the tiny fraction of crypto businesses that can’t be fairly described this way, I’m sure it’s not the first time that being part of a largely criminal and fraudulent sector has had this sort of consequence.
