The fact that this is flagged is pure evidence that the PR shills have infested HN.

  It's flagged because it's a fake, spam story (as evidenced by other comments). But even if it weren't, there are obvious tells that it's not real. You can easily and quickly reach Stripe support. They don't really do robot responses; their support has worsened in recent years but talking to humans there is not difficult. Furthermore, you have utter nonsense like this: > Stripe is taking advantage of a lack of regulation in this space to steal small merchant's large transactions. They see a big, outlier transaction and lick their chops, hiding behind KYC and "Fraud prevention" To hold your money indefinitely. 1. There is a TON of regulation in the space. That is why transactions get flagged in the first place. 2. Stripe cannot legally TOUCH that money. It's frozen, but it's absolutely not Stripe's, and that specifically is why I flagged the post. 3. The idea that Stripe "licks its chops" at a 3k usd transaction is so idiotic it deserves its own spot on the farm. Really, how do you fall for this? I remember years ago, this hope that the current generations are growing up on technology and won't fall for the nigerian prince scams like grandma does.
