just found this. who knows if it is true or not. may help some people here.
"Due to all of the negative press and information circulating about Epassporte at this time I thought I should add this post…
If you are an Epassporte account holder and you have significant funds (10,000$ or more) locked on your virtual visa because of this situation you *can* have these funds wire transfered to your personal bank account (assuming you have one on file, and are willing to provide a scan of your photo ID).
At this moment I do not believe this information has been released to the public so I will not leak any personal contact that was used to accomplish this… However I can tell the users a few things
1: The dispute over the funds was started by St. Kitts (not Visa), St. Kitts does have all of the funds however Epassporte does “have” limited access to them.
2. None of the funds are lost or unaccounted for, however it just takes a lot of paperwork to access them. (This is why the option is not being offered to all Epassporte Users)
3: Email support or the given phone line will tell you that you are only able to wire xfer funds stored in your E-Wallet, this is not the case. If you look hard enough hopefully you’ll find the same person I did."
