PayPal implicated in criminal activity
By Julio Severo
WND, which I consider the best conservative newssite in the world, ran an explosive headline yesterday: PayPal implicated in bank fraud.
Who could imagine: PayPal, which moved to exterminate my account, has now become the focus of a money-laundering scandal.
Don Hank, the owner of Laigles Forum, had this to say about the WND headline: Now link this story with the way PayPal heavy-handedly refused service to Julio Severo because his web site opposes gay marriage, and you can see how radical social agendas and their implementation are actually a symptom of a deeper-lying criminal mindset. It is criminal capitalism linked to criminal government (which did nothing to protect Julio), a potent cocktail of pure sleaze.
In my case, the hostile PayPal behavior was followed by the suspicious behavior of two US gay groups.
On August 21, 2011, the Human Rights Campaign was recorded visiting my blog in a tracking report. This is the most powerful homosexual organization in America. In the next few days, AllOut, a heavily-funded gay group, launched an online petition campaign to have accounts of 10 pro-family groups cut off from PayPal. Even though I am not an organization, my name was included in this public gay campaign, and my account was closed.
Last December, PayPal closed my account definitively. To me, PayPal explained that I am ineligible to receive donations from my friends and readers because you are not a registered non-profit organization. To AllOut, PayPal explained that they closed my account because We take very seriously any cases where a user has incited hatred, violence or intolerance because of a persons sexual orientation.
Now, I can no longer receive donations from my friends through PayPal.
Now, see the giants dirty hands that moved against me incited by a US gay group. To read the full report, follow the WND link:
PayPal implicated in bank fraud
Alleged money-laundering scheme by global finance giant involved billions
NEW YORK A former employee of one of the worlds largest international banks who has provided WND with more than 1,000 pages of evidence alleges the Internet giant PayPal and American Express are implicated in an international money-laundering scheme involving hundreds of billions of dollars.
The whistleblower, John Cruz, was a relationship manager in the southern New York region for the London-based global bank HSBC.
I found many accounts where PayPal and American Express were used as conduits through which hundreds of thousands of dollars were deposited or withdrawn from HSBC customer accounts in a pattern of suspicious transactions that should have been reported to legal authorities under various banking statutes, including the Patriot Act, Cruz told WND. (WND source: PayPal, American Express implicated in bank fraud)

I only read the headline. Best news I’ve seen in a year or so. I celebrate. I rejoice. They need to be vaporized and the earth salted over where they stood.

Sorry, using an aggrieved party as a source for news doesn’t leave much room for credibility. Doesn’t lend you much credibility either.

I am sorry to hear this! I know that they have gotten some bad publicity recently, but, on at least two occasions, Paypal has kept me from being defrauded.
One time involved several thousand dollars that an unscrupulous internet marketer was able to draft from my back account without my permission or knowledge. I had not received any emails informing me of the transactions. Paypal noticed the unusual number of withdrawals and froze my account. When I called Paypal to inquire about it, they told me to check my blocked email addresses, and, sure enough, the woman had hacked into my email account and had blocked Paypal's email address so that I would not be aware of the withdrawals! Paypal disallowed the transactions and restored all of the money to my account.
The other time involved less money. I frequently purchase items on Ebay and a seller attempted to defraud me. Since I had paid for the transaction via Paypal, they were able to disallow it and return my money to my account. Had my experience with them been less positive, I might agree with most of the others on this thread.

Thanks for the contrasting information, srmorton.
JimRob, can you shed some light on this? Do you know if PayPal is truly safe to use or not? I’m assuming you have researched them very carefully.

I find it hard to believe anyone that can tie their own shoes doesn’t realize that ALL MAJOR BANKS are involved in MONEY LAUNDERING, A little google will show you that Almost Every Major Bank has paid tiny fractions of their profits in fines for exactly that.for it is not possible to launder that much money without their knowledge, unless of course somebody here knows of some companies that do NOTHING BUT CASH TRANSACTIONS to the tune of A Few BILLION DOLLARS A MONTH. And lets not forget that EVERY one of These Banks are under the Direct Control of The Federal Reserve and OUR GOVERNMENT. Long Live the WAR ON DRUGS and Don’t let those chains bother you.

And for some reason you seem to believe that the war on drugs has something to do with the free choice individuals make. We didn’t have most of the problems with drugs in this country until we had a war on drugs, and anybody in america can get any controlled substance they want in any city and any prison in america anytime they want. If you can’t keep the freeflow of controlled substances out of PRisons, what makes you think you can do it in a Free Society, unless of course you really don’t believe in the idea of freedom. And no this is not an endorsement of doing drugs, yes I know that was your first reaction, i have met thousands of people like you and I feel sorry for you.

No, emotional arguments are all that dopers have.
I have been reading this crap for years and I am done with it.
You will have a better chance of trying to convert me into the abortion death cult and that ain’t going to happen either.
