PayPal Freezes the Assets of Wikileaks.org
Found on Slashdot on Saturday, 23 January 2010
"Paypal has as of 23rd of January 2010 frozen WikiLeaks assets. This is the second time that this happens. The last time we struggled for more than half a year to resolve this issue. By working with the respected and recognized German foundation Wau Holland Stiftung we tried to avoid this from happening again - apparently without avail."
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Wikileaks should have abandoned PayPal after the first account lock; or transferred all the money at least once a day out of the account to a real bank. PayPal is known for denying you access to your money without giving much of a reason. So: just don't use it.
