"It could be as simple as the person having the same name as someone who got blocked in the US."
And?! That would be a horrible reason for deleting all of a user's purchased items. More reason for these types of posts to exist. The situation itself doesn't really matter, but bringing attention to the possible dangers of DRM is important. The fact that we don't own these DRMed items is incredibly scary.
"there have definitely been cases that vary between being one side of the story to being a distortion of facts and events to being outright lies."
Okay.. but without data this is just a vague anecdote.
If all you're trying to say is "be careful", well alright. But honestly I don't care. The story itself isn't that important in these cases as long as people are thinking about what the possible dangers of DRM are. And they are really big dangers.
These types of posts are the only action an individual can take when pitted against a big company.
