Looking more closely into the claim, the actual message from Yoti was:

"Due to past security concerns, Yoti automatically flags multiple verification attempts and any devices running GrapheneOS. These instances are automatically reported to both the authorities and our security team."

Then:

"Unfortunately, as multiple attempts were made from this specific device, your account has been flagged for suspicious activity."

So the "and" looks like a typo, otherwise their system wouldn't have allowed more than one attempt from a GrapheneOS device to begin with.

i.e. multiple verification attempts from a GrapheneOS device will flag your account.

Full transparency, posting this as Yoti's PR team as discussed with Hacker News moderators:

Yoti does not and never would never report any user to the authorities based on their choice of operating system or device. The image of the customer support email being circulated on Reddit does not match anything in Yoti’s customer support records.

We have engaged with GrapheneOS to better understand any issues their users may be experiencing and explore ways to securely resolve those issues.

Congratulations Graphene for being acknowledged as the OS of the next generation. An old version of Android or OsX would just be a confused boomer.
