Now, if we play detective, let's say their first statement had at least some small part of truth: that VISA took the plug off immediately and without warning. If we assume this was true, then by VISA regulations the only way to do that is with a legal order by a superior court in the country or area the bank is located. And not only CARICOM falls under this regulation, BUT CARICOM IS THE MAIN REASON WHY VISA MADE THIS REGULATION TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.

Now, due to their legal status, I don't know if the enforcement falls under US or St Kitts or what. Just mentioning the only objective fact I know assuming VISA really unplugged them without warning: some enforcement law was needed, some legal order was required, some federal force has to be involved. Out of that, I don't have a fucking idea about what's going on, same as everybody else.

On the other hand, if VISA took the plug off while they knew it with some anticipation, then Epass operations falls under the financial fraud figure. For this kind of multinational setups, it usually falls under the sphere of Interpol.

Either way, not a nice scenario by any means
