PayPal is facing a class-action lawsuit alleging that the digital payments company violated racketeering laws by freezing customer funds without offering an explanation.

When users contacted PayPal about the frozen funds [arstechnica.com], they were told they had violated the company’s “acceptable use policy” but weren’t told how that violation had occurred, the lawsuit says [arstechnica.net]. What’s more, it alleges that in at least one instance, PayPal said that a user would “have to get a subpoena” to find out why.
