Thanks for your reply. I sent you an email, maybe you can give me some advice. Thank you.
That wasn't my account, only my Apple ID was a user of that account until May 2018. That account probably terminated a year ago, so almost 3 years after I had an association with it.

By "I don't know why the previous account got terminated" I mean I have no knowledge of anything in that account.

I don't why the previous account got terminated, because I've no relationship with it. If my relationship with that account ended 4 years ago, do you think the ban can possibly be justified? My apps have 2 million users(monthly), I can’t give this up so easily. Please tell me what information I can provide so you can give me advice.

In one part of the conversation, they mentioned that the accounts used the same bank account(Not only credit card). I assume it means the bank account that the developers is get paid with. That's even more convincing that accounts were linked. Note that you can use "arbitrary" bank accounts to get paid with(Source: I'm an apple developer.)

Also The apple guy said it uses same test devices. As usual the devil is in details, it's important if they still uses the same devices and in what extent.

At least he did not use the same name. The two accounts use different names, otherwise apple would mention it because it's a huge evidence that the accounts are linked :)

That's interesting and kinda important evidence that it's more about credit card and some devices.

No, The name of the account and the credit card holder can be different.You just need to provide government ID and your memebershit will be delayed: https://developer.apple.com/support/purchase-activation/

In this case, it seems the two accounts used different names otherwise they would mentioned it already because it's huge evidence that the accounts are linked.

No. You can use a different bank account to get paid and use a different name for your developer account from credit card used. You can even use a prepaid credit card(But you have to provide ID). In this case, it's clear that the account names were different. Also it seems the bank accounts to get payment from apple were different(Otherwise they would mention it). And the only links were the credit card and some devices(only apple and the developer know how many devices and in some extent)
Re:AWS mistakes to avoid on Sunday December 27, 2015 @10:10AM (#10797613)
I've been a customer of linode for over a year and soon will be migrating to another provider, most probably Amazon. The main reason is a lot of connectivity issues and down time. I always hosted pet projects and simple web app on Linode, but just this week, I used it a for a major project. Now, the whole region of Fremont,CA has connectivity issues and is down for a couple of hours per day. The same happens for other regions as well. Maybe always it's been like that, but I've never paid attention. You can see their incident history in here: http://status.linode.com (I browsed it a little bit and it seems they had a lot issues in the past as well) I probably will lost about 6 times more money that Linode has saved me over AWS only for the down time in this week.

So my suggestion is for a small-non critical projects you can use Linode, but for anything serious you better use something that is reliable.
