I do not think so. I am not sure if you are aware of Hawala http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawala or so many other malicious instruments that can be used in a manner similar to crowdfunding. This also includes other factors when looking at international donations to a project which usually come under numerous regulations that need to be answered by PayPal. To not investigate such transactions would be a blunder and the freeze has not been very long. I see no need for an apology for a routine check when it has been clearly stated in their terms and conditions.
