Hearing stories like this along with recent ones (e.g. Vanguard not allowing clients to buy Bitcoin ETFs and Stripe shutting down a Bitcoin-hardware merchant) push me to study and find ways to become more self-sovereign.
I got a Stripe account recently as part of a small business venture. The help forum I was had so many people in there who had made sales but stripe wouldn't let them access their money. They weren't selling anything "questionable" like bitcoin related stuff. It seems if Stripe didn't like or agree or they didn't label it correctly they ran into trouble. They are a law unto themselves, it's crazy how much control these companies have over people.
