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.

That's a ridiculous reason for blocking their account though. Is everyone learning from the best (cough Amazon)?

You mean learning from the 5th highest market cap company? Isn't that sort of expected? The question you should ask if why the government doesn't step in since companies will do what they can to optimize stock price.

I'm afraid the answer to that question is called "lobby".

If that actually worked as some people think it does, the corporate income tax rate would be 0%, there would be no labor laws, no OSHA, no EPA, and so on.
