They didn't take or transfer any money, they just got it locked up and changed some personal information on the account.

They really fucking hated that Paypal account.
What prompted them to fuck with paypal and not ban you or whatever else? Why go to Paypal?

In 2007 I was home sick from work and was reading threads on www.advrider.com. I realized I hated every aspect of my sheltered life and decided to do something about it. I went back to my job of 7 years, put in my two week notice and started collecting camping gear.

Two weeks later I hopped on my ZRX1200 and hit the road. I took a laptop and a camera and posted my stories on ADV and www.cycleforums.com. Well, early in the trip I ended up losing my electric vest (it was February). I was upset because I had limited funds. Someone offered to set me up a Paypal account and I declined. They persisted and I was like, fuck it, I do love money, so low and behold I had a Paypal account.

I also had tens of thousands of people following my trip, which became, at the time the largest ride report on ADV. So the funds added up and I was able to stay on the road for an extra 4 months. A select group of people at ADV in the "Jo Momma" sub-forum started a hate campaign because I was a jobless bum accepting donations from readers. Generally, the mods on ADV had my back.

Anyway, over the course of a couple of months the anti-Kaneman thread was half as big as the Kaneman thread. I was still getting lots of donations and had a shitload of fans but I was also getting hate mail and attracting some really crazy motherfuckers....one of which tried to stalk me across TN. Things escalated, I let them get to me, and I threatened to have sex with a couple of their wives. Shortly after that my Paypal account was hacked, my personal info was changed to some sarcastic stuff and I decided to end my trip.

LOL, yeah I would of still been pissed. Paypal could of figured that shit out, but it probably wasn't in your best interest given your donation income probably wasn't reported and taxed.

Here's the thread, still one of the largest (yet admittedly, least exotic) ride report on ADV.

I would never not report income. I swear to God. Stop looking at me like that.
