Stripe reactivated the Tailwind account the same day, which means something at Stripe was broken in that case.

How is "coaching" an obvious gray area?




I'd wager if Adam didn't have over 100k followers on Twitter, and wasn't a big deal in the web development community (most have heard of either him, or at least TailwindCSS), he'd get the same treatment as the OP, which is "you did one or more things wrong that's listed on this huge page of conditions, go figure it out."


There's no real product so they're easy to spin up and run a bunch of stolen CC numbers through.

ETA: Either the site all together or as an individual coach on the platform.


No, it means the case got enough attention on social media.

Just like here. We have those "Stripe shut me down" posts on HN regularly.

When I bought the All-Access pass from Tailwind Labs last night it went through Paddle.

Looks like this erroneous holds/deactivations are costing Stripe real business.


I'd imagine many "coaches" promise the world and deliver very little. They likely have very high chargebacks / returns / disputes that Stripe would rather not deal with.
