Hey PayPal,

Some time ago last year you have banned my friend's account, ha cannot even post here, that's why I'm writing. This was a punishment, a life-sentence ban for violating your rules:
He sold his used e-cigarette and got paid thru PayPal for it.
We got it, your rules prohibit selling any tobacco and related products, it includes e-cigarettes although it is a widely recognized healthier alternative to smoking. He was not aware of this rule, neither was me, I admit, I have not read you 452 pages or whatever long rulebook, I think very few of your customers did. We are just normal, law abiding citizens of our countries, using, buying, selling e-cigarettes is not a crime in our countries. He thought it is enough to abide the law and be honest, he did this terrible violation in good faith.

Now in the the wake of this terrible war in Ukraine, we both read about your ban of Russian customers, which we welcome and hope this and all the other sanctions will help to bring that Putin's regime down sooner and you will soon be able to restore your services in Russia under a new, democratic government. We really appreciate your commitment and sacrifice for humanity.

...but there was a strange thought we both had immediately when we heard these news, I even joked with my friend, he got the same punishment from you as the mass-murderer Putin. 

What a sick logic is it?

Could you please reconsider my friend's sentence or another alternative would be to punish Putin harder, I don't know.....    but definitely he doesn't want to sit in the same virtual prison cell with Putin for selling a damn e-cigarette.

regards,
Laszlo
