I was alive for ~4 months. I deluded myself into thinking that minimizing number of loads and keeping loads under 5k/mo, including swipes, some Direct deposit etc. would keep me alive.
So far all we really know is that GB will shut down people doing MS. It's a matter of time. The only thing we know for certain is that you can load large amounts (2500 per day) and you will have no problem withdrawing those amounts even after getting shut down. So I think I should have taken the advice: go hard at it and load a lot.
GB has a lot of BS about fraudulent activity but essentially they are a proactive business that doesn't like unprofitable customers.
