Anthropic Suspends Over 60 Claude AI Accounts of Fintech Firm, Later Restores Access

Pato Molina, CTO of Argentina-based fintech Belo, reported that Anthropic suspended over 60 of its Claude AI accounts without prior warning or clear explanation, citing automated detection of policy violations. Molina criticized the lack of detailed communication and the appeals process limited to a Google Form. Anthropic later restored access, acknowledging the suspension was a false positive. Molina warned about the risks of relying solely on a single AI provider.
