How are we a "high risk" merchant when our business is not different from Truebill.com (subscription tracking) and Ramp Inc (spend management) a company Stripe recently invested in?

The cynical me says there is your answer right there. You are a bit to close to something Stripe invested in, or at least close enough to something they will offer as a service soon.

It makes sense. They (stripe) want to get the biggest part of a cake and destroy small businesses. Such morones.

>Such morones.

Does that mean morons? From their perspective, it's a smart thing to do, if they can get away with it. Or does it mean like "such big balls?".

If they wanted the biggest part of the cake, the should keep the small businesses next to their own. The know their competitors and, in the case of them failing, they'd still be on the winning side.

As the saying goes, to make money in a gold rush, sell pickaxes.

At least in Spanish "morones" are little hills.
