When you're talking about possibly processing 6 figures a month through an IPSP or trusting your affiliate payments to a company, you're going to need more assurances than "he's a stand up guy".

i dont dissagree with what you are saying.. but the fact remains is that "trust" is based on past performance. whether or not someone can be trusted depends entirely on how they conduct their business... in other words, if someone hasn't fucked up in the last 2 months, its reasonable to assume they won't fuck up in the coming 2 months.
NO ONE should be looking at things in terms of "what can you guarantee me"... thats just bad business and bad planning and extremely poor risk management.
of course its reasonable to ask questions if you are considering a 6 figure risk... however, what does it change? everyone that has ever started any service like this or IPSP has said all the right things, had the bro club weigh in constantly... then disappeared before anyone knew it was over. at the end of the day, you risk as much as you can afford to lose and see what happens... watch for warning signs and pay heed when you see people having issues, having support issues, having issues joining, having issues with phone support, having issues with cards/accounts being frozen etc and more as IS CONSTANTLY THE CASE WITH EPASSPORTE and have the sense to walk away rather than being like most people in this biz who ignore all these warning signs because the WANT to believe a bad risk is a good risk because it offers convienence to them.
