This appears to be part of a disinformation campaign to discredit Greenwald and The Intercept, using Paypal as the sacrificial goat.
The fact that Greenwald has held back documents cannot, by itself, be held against him. The documentation handed over by Snowden contained a lot of sensitive material, and it was left to the journalists to select publishable items, balancing considerations of public interest versus national security.
As for the $250M, that is the sum invested in the First Look Media news agency, and there is nothing to suggest that Greenwald is receiving more than a regular journalist's salary.
