could explain how an 8 year relationship got turned upside down less than a month after the move.
Pure speculation ofcourse.

You know, I've been thinking the same thing. If not Visa someone in the government. I avoided saying it because I didn't want to add to all the chaos or start nasty rumors. But it's easy to forget how 90% of the population views us as an industry: perverts, liars, cheats, and crooks. People are people. Often stuff like this goes down because some bigwig makes a phone call or two after feeling outraged.
Mr Mallick's recent comments feel as if there's a hint if "I'm defending the industry" within them as well. I've also noticed that for some time the banks have seemed to be watching adult related transactions more closely...but I always kept quiet about this for fear that I might have been reading too much into it.
I've said it before and I will say it again, if you're doing anything shady (taxes, billing, etc) look out. Times are a changing.
