I was using firstdata/linkpoint/cardservice intl if you care to know. its all part of the game and risk of running your own merchant account, not really much different than selling dope, so deal with the risk, minimize it, or get out the game and go back to 3rd party billing. realize you are likely on the visa/mc TMF/Match file and can't get another independent merchant account under your own name anymore so just go back to 3rd party billing, and use that like most other folks do to get your money
Probably the most informative post I've ever read in here And looking at your avatar you recovered well from all the trouble...

Let me add that you can always ask a friend to register a new domain, move all your content there, and have the friend open a new merchant account. I'm happy that I joined that "sons of Amsterdam prostitutes" friends club a long time ago. There's more sons of prostitutes in Amsterdam than there are prostitutes!
