Those ten days were them seeing if it would 'blow over'. Can't trust them an inch now

When will they learn? You could possibly pull that crap Business to consumer... BUT B2B? Hell no!

That's what confused me the most. When your customers are consumers, screwing them over might be no big deal. But when your customers are businesses, how were you planning to get away with something like this where anything involving fees in the 6 to 9 figures is game changing. That's, "Cheaper to move my business elsewhere" levels of money.

Yup. They were hoping it would fall out of the news cycle and people would forget about it. Once it stretched past a week, they started to panic because people weren’t dropping it, and had to plan an announcement to save face.
