Josh was banned from payment processors from 2017 after he claimed someone attempted to put over thousands of dollars of fraudulent credit card transactions through his payment site lolcow.us, for which he blamed ... like you need me to tell you. Josh's excuse was almost as bad as that guy who claimed his cat downloaded child porn by sitting on his keyboard. The perpetrator of this alleged fraud has never been caught.

Vordrak wrote an article after Josh made the accusation of fraud (

A later article pointed out compliance concerns about lolcow.us which caused Mastercard to blacklist Josh (
