Their primary payments processor was CCBill, so no, they were using "adult proof" providers. I think there's something going on on the adult payments industry that I don't know about.

Either PornHub/OF got too big even for CCBill's approach to dealing with fraud, or CCBill is pulling the plug on websites that take market away from "traditional porn" probably because of pressure from the later.

Probably more pressure from banks related to payouts, then processing.

Money laundering and tax avoidance is a big deal and if OF isn't going out of their way to make everyone happy then they have a potentially multi-billion dollar a year money laundering business going on.
