Getting on the US government's bad side when you are in a highly regulated industry is NEVER a good idea. It'd be a quixotic crusade that'd just draw Paypal into the line of fire. For example, there are probably 50 FinReg statutes alone that an aspiring Eliot Spitzer 2.0 could throw at them given sufficient prodding by the federales.

That's presumably why all those cell phone companies handed over all your calls to the police without a warrant.
Only one called their lawyers to ask if it was legal.
