CFS sues PayPal for blocking hurricane relief efforts
Keith Griffith, founder of CFS.com, LLC, the New Orleans-based parent company of free gay Web site Cruising for Sex announced on Tuesday they have filed suit and are seeking unspecified damages from PayPal, Inc. CFS.com is seeking restitution for breach of contract and for emotional distress after the online pay processing giant shut down an account designated for the assistance of CFS.com employees affected by Hurricane Katrina. CFS.com, which operates out of New York and New Orleans , is also seeking a declaratory judgment to establish that their use of PayPal was not in violation of the terms of use agreement, and seeks an injunction forcing PayPal to restore the account immediately.
“We weren’t using PayPal to sell dildos, porn, etc. The only use of PayPal on our site was in an attempt to raise donations to pay mortgages, buy gas, pay cell phone bills, and help these people and their families get back up on their feet,” Griffith said.
