I am a merchant in Hong Kong documenting a systemic failure in Stripe's compliance logic.
The Inconsistency:
1. Two years ago, my stripe account Funds are frozen. Recently, I re-appealed.
2. On Jan 12, 2026, Support (Bruce) wrote: "We have completed a review... we can enable payouts for your account."
3. Stripe then released funds for my smaller sub-account, confirming my identity/KYC is valid.
4. However, for my main account (HKD 93,397 / ~$12k USD), the payout remains blocked.
5. Support is now ignoring the Jan 12 approval and re-sending the rejection template from 2 years ago.
The Legal Anomaly:
I searched the HK Companies Registry and found:
- "Stripe Payments HK Limited" (CR 63355701) was DISSOLVED in Dec 2022.
- Yet, payouts are still being processed via a local HongKong bank account (Code: HK2BT...).
Who is legally holding my $12k? A dissolved ghost entity?

@patrickc @collision - Is this how Stripe handles compliant merchants?
