I have no idea whether it has any bearing on this matter, but PayPal has been reported as one of several websites/businesses who have been under "attack" by those associated with the "Anonymous" group, because they have refused to process money obviously related to that (and possibly similar) activites. (I think they may also have cut off transactions for associates of Al Q & Taliban organizations?)

There also are fairly large numbers of people who are not necessarily directly associated with such organisations who may be "sympathizers" and could easily launch their own small smear campaigns.

Others might launch something similar for "personal reasons" with little factual basis.

Without confirmation from more than a single source, or at least significant evidence beyond hearsay, most stories like this should be viewed with due caution. I won't have a further opinion until I see significantly more verifiable information on what happened (if anything did).
