Paypal Won't Release Funds To Slain Soldier's Family

Posted by samzenpus on from the why-think-when-you-have-policy dept.

robustyoungsoul writes "Popular sports blog Deadspin established the Adam Knox Fund for the purpose of raising money in honor of the fallen soldier who was killed in Iraq. They took the donations through a PayPal account. Turns out now, however, PayPal will not release the money due to the way the account was set up on their end."

    So it doesn't seem the company is trying to rip anybody off or laugh over the graves of the dead.

    It seems like you've never used Paypal before.

    No matter what the "factual" details are, if you're on the same side of a dispute as a dead soldier's family, there's no possible way you can be wrong.

    I sugest that you read the post again. He is saying "PayPal is evil" not "Evil is PayPal". There is a difference you know.
