Quite an understatement. You seem unconvinced of the overwhelming number of people who have had issues with Paypal, and the relentless pain they had to endure just to get their money back, buyers and sellers both.
I don't deny the existence of the regulations they have to abide, but Paypal isn't a bank and doesn't operate like one either. They're given a great deal of freedom in their contract to seize accounts at will.
I would like to see the relevant law that Paypal was abiding by to seize Wikileak's account.
There is no law, they did it of their own accord. I won't make any assertions about why but I'd say there are two or three guesses, of which at least one is close to the mark.
