Gotta love George W. Bush and his war on terror. A lot of the bullshit we deal nowadays with money and traveling started on his government

So what's the resolution in that situation? Does Flipper Zero just throw their hands up and lose the money?

They can go public, which is what they've done here and on Twitter.

After that, they have to consider legal action, and it won't be cheap.

PayPal should be forced to pay back legal fees when they lose..

Except financial companies are given civil immunity for this kind of thing if they file a SAR. It's effectively a license to steal. And I suspect it has less to do with any actual crime and more to do with the fact that some of the team is Russian.

That's only if the government instructed them to do it. If PayPal made the decision themselves, it's up to them.

why?
