I'm about 90% certain it's an algorithm. This sounds like the classic PFA vs PD tradeoff...Stripe either lets the bad guys get away with using their "platform" for ill gotten gains or stripe stops the cretins while at the same time ruining people's lives.

And it looks like Stripe has been targeted by US State Attorneys frequently https://decrypt.co/42444/stripe-pays-120000-to-steer-clear-o.... So I can't fault them. They've got hundreds of thousands of irate algorithm victims that they're dealing with but those victims can't throw them in jail or seize their assets.
