I wonder if it's related to smacking down RMT bots/stolen accounts?

I don't know the ins and outs of Square's ban systems and guidelines but if it's based on IP, it could be an attempt to catch those who have been using VPNs to continue their services?

Or also a way to figure out who's being piloted on stolen accounts if the credit card/bank info being given by the thieves doesn't match the original owner when the time comes to refill the sub?

I feel like there has to be a logical reason behind the decision, even if it was a bad move to make since so many people are being affected.
