Flipper Zero vs. PayPal

Flipper Zero is a company that sells a very unique device call it an all in one for anyone who loves tech.

It can do remote key less, radio, those touch less cards we all seem to carry these days,NFC, Bluetooth, IR, it can replace remotes, has a micro SD card slot, it even encourages the user to hack the device.

So you might be wondering what does this had to do with PayPal? You see on June 7th they opened their Online store with a PayPal option who is now holding $1.3 Million that rightfully belongs to Flipper Zero for 2 months. According to their posts they are at a critical time for their business and they need the money.

It isn’t like Flipper Zero isn’t sending over these devices. In fact they are at 163 Euros a piece. But it seems no matter what they do PayPal won’t turn over the cash.

PayPal has blocked our business account and is holding $1.3M for more than 2 months without explaining what exactly they are not happy with. Even @PayPal support doesn't know what's going on. ⚠️This endangers the production of Flipper Zero in general. More details in thread 1/5 pic.twitter.com/vK4kBAyb0X
