There has been tons of reporting on this in the industry. It is not hidden. The war on sex work is extremely well-documented, as is the explicit shift in tactics to targeting financial infrastructure as a tactic.

What I'm trying to say is that the industry reporting isn't percolating up to e.g. TFA, which makes no mention of any of this.
