I know many people i talk to daily who would pick up their phones, file a report or send off emails if thats all it takes.

Unfortunately it's not just a case of filing a report, if it were we'd have impacted many more sites than the 54 or so which are down and the now 516 that have had one or more forms of payment processing terminated.
Firstly, most of what we do cannot be done in public. To conduct our operations in public would simply undermine our efforts and let the bad guys stay one step ahead. It would also jeopardise any law enforcement or third party actions that might be taking place.
Secondly, for some sites we have had to gather information and evidence for months in order to have an outcome, making this public would again compromise the process.
I really want people to understand that no payment processor is going to shut down a site just because we email them and ask them to.
The processes we undertake are complex, time consuming, forensic and ultimately a lot of hard work.
