The vast majority of Google accounts have no real identity associated with them. Also, this doesn't help if an account was NOT a false positive. You're assuming this guy is truly innocent of all problems, but from past experience, unfortunately I can say that sometimes when obviously non-spammy accounts go poof overnight and nobody is willing to explain why, it's because it's related to a criminal investigation.

I'm confused. The goal of my proposal was that someone who was wrongly flagged (a false positive) could identify themselves as such by being willing to put up a (cash) bounty, or identify themselves with a financial/government institution that is set to handle such things at scale. Someone who is committing fraud, or trying to steal anonymously, or is involved in other criminal activities, is extremely unlikely to do such things. Legitimate people, however would have a route out of this kafkaesque maze. That system could even be automated, and it would work better than what's going on now. At a certain point, some problems just cannot be solved with just code.
