But I can tell you first hand when you are very successful in one business you tend to get cocky and think you can be successful in other businesses that you don't know as much about or have a lot of experience with. It's happened to me and many other people.

If you have not had a couple of failures along with the wins then you probably have not tried enough so the movie is just that....a failure, or is it. You may know the box office but you, like me, probably dont know the accounting including tax. I stopped assuming I know others business a long time ago.
I have a couple of Epassporte business accounts and I was lucky in that I paid studios and had affiliate money there in the Ewallet and having it wired out. Personal Epass accounts were for ATM withdrawal and we have some cash frozen there but I doubt it is lost (it is low 5 figures if that matters). From where I sit it looks like too many visa cards were program issued and without ID held and these accounts have too much cash going through them. I checked messages and some high volume personal accounts we have received requests for ID and utility bill and we have sent those. Check your messages.
I dont know Chris but people I do know say he is one of the smarter guys in the business and that he will work through this. There was no blueprint for setting Epassporte up and no guidelines but he did it and it works...yes WORKS. If it was easy there would be 47 Epassporte clones and it would be a real mess.
I lived in Asia for 12 years..... I know how reliant many are on Epass... especially those outside the US and I feel sorry for them and hope they can sort a Plan B until the issue resolved. I doubt Epass are finished...... far from it.
