Original Text

we have a real product (thanks claude) and dozen users signedup still using up their free credits. setup payments because it was so easy, then decided to use their atlas product to incorporate and take a single 6 figure pre-seed funding thru stripe invoice (yes stupid, but we are early). Rest of payments are all free coupon payments for testing purposes. Stripe accepted the pre-seed payment, 3 days ago connected to mercury to send it there and just now closed my account and holding funds for 120 days (oct 5th). Got rejected 2x with an automated message after they asked for clarification.

1 invoice payment 0 real transactions 0 refunds 0 chargebacks

stripe gets to collect 500-800$ of interest on my account in the meantime
