Re:Getting Fucked by Stripe by pla3rhat3r on Tuesday June 02, 2015 @12:29PM (#9646988)
As a fellow business owner I can empathize with the apprehension. We've been approached about building apps for the marijuana industry and have a lot of debates around whether that puts us into a precarious position. The consensus is that we would not be held accountable for simply providing a service especially given that it would not directly relate to the transaction of the actual product nor would it be part of the path that would be considered "laundering." I understand where you're coming from. It's tough to be put in a position in which you believe you may be putting your company at risk, but I think Stripe is missing an opportunity that could position the business as a leader to help change the precedence. Just my two cents. Nice response though. Love seeing business owners here defending their position instead of cowering to poorly written diatribes.
