I did not get burned this time, but I see you, and some of the others I recognize from Howie Nixon era. My sincerest condolences on this my friend.

Ah.. the Howie era
Whatever the reasons and excuses this time, and irrespective of what future 365billing may have or not, and how accurate or otherwise their "press releases" are - the fundamental issue remains that most TPP's do not or will not provide *any* form of security for the funds they hold on behalf of webmasters.
The only two processors I know of who do provide an element of security as part of their biz model are SegPay and Verotel (you chose well!).
It's amazing that *any* processor even exists today where they cannot provide a biz model to secure client funds in the event of their demise - even more surprising are the so-called "big names" who still do not provide this. But again... iBill was a big name at one time, and time seems to be a leveller
