Looks like there's a bunch of stuff that might opinably fit, depending on who those 10 clients were or what your company does.
- Regulated industries such as: Financial products and services / Investment and brokerage services
- Money transmitters, currency exchange services and other money services businesses
- Neobanks / challenger banks
- Other financial institutions
- Credit card and identity theft protection services
- Other age restricted goods or services
- Virtual and cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and mining services
- Sale of stored value or credits maintained, accepted and issued by anyone other than the seller
- Businesses where sellers get their revenue both from selling items and from signing up new sellers
- When you sign up for Stripe Issuing, you share with Stripe the location of your business, the physical address of your beneficial owners, and the jurisdiction in which your business is registered. Stripe requires that the physical location of your business, its jurisdiction of registration, and the physical address of at least one of your beneficial owners all match. Furthermore, you must use Issuing cards primarily in the same jurisdiction

Further, it is prohibited to use Stripe’s products and services directly or indirectly related to any goods prohibited by law (e.g. luxury goods) from Russia.
From a cursory search of email, name, company... I find it plausible that something above might've matched. Or maybe it's a matter of who those 10 clients were, and where they're located. Iran? Cuba? Crimea? Russia? That might do it.
Maybe your competitor also matches, which might be ground for -- if Stripe doesn't want that kind of business on their platform -- for shooting them off, too.
Or maybe it's not a matter of the business type, but of where the clients reside.

Unfortunately only Stripe could help here. :/
