I've had at least 2 times where a researcher did something to get themselves removed from a program, and came back with alt accounts.
I don't know what issues they run into with their backend systems when it comes to payment, but I can also imagine that it's important for tax and compliance purposes for H1 or BC to know who they are facilitating money to be transferred to? Probably don't want to find out they're a sanctioned entity using a VPN.
I'm kind of struggling to think of a job/ do-work-get-money system that doesn't require identity verification.
