PayPal cuts service to Courage to Resist, Bradley Manning support
Found on Streams of WikiLeaks on Wednesday, 23 February 2011
The online payment provider PayPal has frozen the account of Courage to Resist, which in collaboration with the Bradley Manning Support Network is currently raising funds in support of U.S. Army Pfc. Bradley Manning.
"We've been in discussions with PayPal for weeks, and by their own admission there's no legal obligation for them to close down our account," noted Loraine Reitman of the Bradley Manning Support Network.
"They said they would not unrestrict our account unless we authorized PayPal to withdraw funds from our organization's checking account by default."
Once again PayPal proves that it is not worth doing business with them. Not only have they ridiculous ways for verifying users via gas bills, but they also have a long history of randomly freezing accounts and harassing users with even more ridiculous demands so they can get the money back.
