I wonder if this has something to do with political activism. It's possible that the security team was either (A) trying to sabotage Patreon's efforts to ban content they've determined is untenable or (B) trying to usurp top-down control and take banning into their own hands. God knows "both sides" of the political spectrum see themselves as saving humanity, and would jump at the opportunity to work in a position of technical power within a company like Patreon, where far-right and far-left content is often hosted.
