Probably because he's an idiot and he honestly believed the conspiracy stuff that something like Paypal would freeze the funds. While it is an area "of concern", 99.99% of the time, such banking institutions don't play games like that, yet. The issue is that it seems to be moving in that direction. The truth is that 99%+ of the time, these banks don't know who you are or what you do. Unless you're Kanye West or someone super high profile, they don't even notice that you're right wing or "problematic".
So he was keyed up to look for "alternatives" and then a snake oil salesman showed up and took advantage of his stupidity.
One might scam you. The other WILL drop you.

The same thing happens when people struggle to find legitimate advertisers.
I'd guess the risk that they'd cut ties?
