This isn't limited to Google. I had a paid for Hotmail account back in the day, someone attacked a domain I held, and as part of that sent multiple abuse reports to every tech provider I used. My Hotmail was listed on the whois - Microsoft removed the email account, didn't refund and provided no human support that I could get a hold of to get the wrongful termination looked at.

It was a nightmare and a good reminder that an attacker with sufficient resources can create more issues than you can possibly dig yourself out of.
