The difference is the store you bought the screw driver from isn’t knowing and willfully enabling heinous acts on an active and ongoing basis. Nobody would place anyone responsible in this case. Visa is fully aware of PH and what they are doing and choosing to continue enabling the business.

And so does electric utility serving PH. So does a catering company serving them luch, so does a real estate company providing them with office space. Why single out payment processor?

More importantly if we follow that line on reasoning, so does the state that allows PH to operate and should be the actual arbiter of legally operating company.

The question should be quite simple. Was Ph licensed to operate legally and does Visa have any inside information that isn't available to the state and legislators.

Electric utilities, by law, must provide service to everyone (who has the ability to pay).

Money.

Money goes to PH via Visa. This allows them to operate.

If the catering company, real estate company, or electric utility is serving as a front to process payments for PH, then they can be sued as well.

Why do you think Visa should be left off the hook if it conspired with PH to profit from CP?
