PayPal Denies Twitch Troll $50,000 Worth In Refunds (ubergizmo.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Trolling is commonplace on the internet. On Twitch, one of the many ways people troll Twitch streamers is by making donations, only to get a refund from PayPal at the very last minute, thus tricking streamers into thinking they've been given large sums of money. A troll by the name of iNexus_Ninja has been doing exactly this. However, when he tried to go to PayPal to refund the charges, PayPal decided to deny his request which ultimately left the troll $50,000 in debt. Twitch streamers apparently fought against his request for a refund and won. Meanwhile, Russia is paying state-sponsored trolls, elevating the troll to the level of professional propagandists.

Re: PayPal does something for their 'vendors'?

In the EU Paypal is, in fact, a bank and has been a bank for years. They have acquired a banking licence in Luxembourg after EU decided that they either have to be a bank or to stop providing their services.
