I am so befuddled as to why it's such an issue setting up Stripe with locals. I got vetted with my investigative data vendors easier than this and then Stripe doesn't understand what I'll be selling?! Locals uses Stripe, but Stripe is saying they want more information on "locals.com." How is this reality?! The whole platform is using Stripe!
I'm starting over on Twitter (X). I'm going to focus solely on the predators. It's hard, though, as I have over 10k tweets. I paid about $7 for tweetdelete.net. It deletes some (there's filters) or all of your tweets in under 3 days. Best thing is you can exit the page once it starts. I started it around midnight last night and I have an estimated completion date of Dec 30.

One thing I'd recommend is to download your Twitter archive first. You're then going to take the Tweets.js file and upload it to the website. Then set it and forget it.
Predators:
Jack Mcclellan ($2.00 for the name check)
Michael Wilusz
Selwyn Knights

Recently, a question came up in my Facebook skip tracing group (attached). There’s not one straightforward answer, but I’ll do my best to explain.
The problem with not having a judgment is that permissible purpose comes into play. A PI can run a data vendor report and get back some information, but banking data is not so simple. You have no permissible purpose to access a credit report, and someone like me couldn’t take on a case like that. That doesn’t mean there’s no way to get banking information, but it won’t be as good as it would be if you had that permissible purpose.
Property records can almost always be obtained through a county case search. It looks like from your profile that you're in Maryland, so those property/deed records will be open to the public.
Employment data... some data vendors will provide leads, and some will provide the answer, but it must always be verified. Social media, Google Dorking/OSINT, professional license boards/secretary of state, etc.,...
