Hope you didn't pay too much for that account.
Without knowing for sure how much he has paid, I think it would not be an amount that would seem very high at first glance to us, but for someone from a poor country with low purchasing power, as
Sir tomos81 seems to be, it will be.
He received payment for 1 week ($87) before getting removed. I think the stake team removes the users on a case by case basis. Users like Jkoil continue to get paid. Maybe because they feel he posts in a way they like. Anyway, it's their decision, and we just have to respect it.
