Google Adsense leak from previous employee

I call bullshit, and a disgruntled employee pissed off he got fired for being an ass and/or idiot.
Google going around and banning their largest publisher accounts without reason or investigation would be pretty counter-productive. Not to mention, I would imagine we would have heard about it elsewhere than bloody pastebin.com.

Posted this in the other thread:
I have no love for Google whatsoever, but that's clearly a fake. There are no explicit details and it's all vague hand-wavy stuff that anyone outside could fabricate. If a few employees made a stand and resigned over this, as it claimed, then they would come out publicly about it. Of course it doesn't make any sense financially for them to do this.
Disgruntled user trying to play to others emotions to stir up a PR debacle, complete with dark shadowy evil conspiracy tone. The "big problem" and "big fear" carefully placed at the end is the thinly-veiled call-to-action.

Classic. I'm sure you realize you're school's comps probably all had similar ip addresses, but can't blame you for not wanting to use G again. Lolz
Matt does like he always does and doesn't really say anything at all. "pretty much untrue" But then gives no specifics on what is and is not true.
I wouldn't be surprised if it is mostly true. But it's just not very shocking. This is how big tech companies operate. Just look at the recent anti-poaching class action that they settled.
Yeah, I did some more reading of it and some comments and it seems more likely that it is a banned publisher. Probably someone who was doing over $10k/month at times and had multiple accounts after being banned.
Some of the stuff like the google analytics skewing is way out there and doesn't make sense.
The stuff about reviews being triggered at certain income levels, focusing on quality, looking for any reason at all to ban low quality publishers, not providing support, and the "green" group or white list of sites makes sense though.

I don't think this is true.
If they can ban publishers/traffic that don't perform well for advertisers, then the price that advertisers are willing to pay increases.
If this wasn't Google, I would agree with you.
Google rewards higher performing publishers with higher CTR's and Conversions.
