Johhny Long stranded while helping the needy...

Johnny Long (of google hacking database fame) and his family are stranded in the middle of Africa while doing charity work because Paypal has 'frozen' his assets. Can you imagine going to a third world country to help out needy people only to end up being stranded there with hardly any money? Worse yet is you HAVE money but the people holding it won't give it to you. This is a good example of false positives and how they are working against Paypal's fraud detection service.

On a positive note, it looks like the community is starting to band together to help Johhny and his family. If you or anyone you know has any influence over Paypal...
