Nice Cliffnotes.
Regarding the "deficiency" , it seems to me the only real deficiency that could cause this is cash.
Epass and Visa both say the money is safe, but SKNA is silent. Why? Most likely because according to the agreements set forth long ago, they are required to cover the funds in an event like this. They probably asked Visa to suspend them because the risk was too great and the money just wasn't there.
There are only 2 things that could be deficient:
1) Cash
2) Documentation on epass card holders
1 is the only one that makes sense right now, it's the only reason there would be any problem discussing openly.
If it was 2 then cards would only be suspended for people who have not submitted adequate ID and there would be no problem announcing that to the world.
If the US government or law enforcement were involved, then there would be no problem announcing that either. It would be a believable excuse and likely accepted by many.
And regarding Mr. Elias, I think that given the fact they have asked people not to contact him, it is likely that contacting him is indeed the best way to get things moving.
