It's kind of a steep move terminating his account. My Facebook account was almost hacked once because someone from an overseas IP tried logging in to my account. Facebook waited for me to login via my Australian IP address and alerted me to he fact and asked if it was me, I said no and I assume they blocked that IP. If security is such an issue, why couldn't Paypal ask the account owner if it was himself behind a VPN and to provide some identification documents? I remember a little while ago having to supply some identifications documents to Paypal (scan of my passport, scan of my assigned credit card with most of the numbers blacked out, etc). If an account owner is willing to provide that information and is say from a country like the United States, Australia or the UK, then Paypal should lower their suspicions. I can see where Paypal is coming from here. IP scanning is one of many criteria that determines if a user is potentially fraudulent (I've used Maxmind fraud protection before and it operates with similar criteria).
