Pretty sure the conspiracy behind this one is not on PayPal's part. It's the fact that because of David's speaking out about pizzagate he is being trolled and people are trying to break into his Paypal. of course also because they know he has money on it. When you try to enter your password too many times from a strange IP address your PayPal will get frozen until they hear from you and verify that it's you and try to straighten that out. in his recent video he had called the PayPal lady on camera and you could tell it was a password related issue. she kept mentioning the password. so they were helping him out by freezing the account so nobody could take the money until they heard from him. Now who was trying to break into his account is the real question.
Interesting take on it. It could however be a smokescreen to protect them from litigation? Make it seem like they were trying to help him, whilst they actually triggered it at company level?
It doesn't seem to me to be a very customer friendly service to freeze a persons account, because of such a hack trigger, without an automated email being sent to the user at least to notify them of what they need to do to regain access to functional service.

Either way ... someone was screwing with him.
