Frankly, though they are questions for Dustin.
I’d like him to confirm that he didn’t receive any calls or emails about this.
It would be pretty bad if Apple is claiming to have done this, and didn’t.
The fact that he didn’t mention them doesn’t mean they didn’t happen.
It just means he didn’t connect them to the suspension of his card, which he had another explanation for.
What makes you think it happened ‘fast’?
I haven’t seen a timeline of what happened that makes that clear.
Either way, Dustin owes us a clarification at this point.
He left a lot out of his original story, and was flat out wrong about Apple’s policy.
His report has lost credibility for me now that we have this additional information.
I agree that it doesn’t mean Apple’s policies are somehow exonerated, but we won’t know that until Dustin either confirms or denies the details.
Let’s note that he said this:

And that his original tweet that Apple disabled his account after just one missed payment, was complete bullshit.
