A run on ANY financial institution would cause a crisis in any country, Paypal included.

Do you think that the investment in the movie Chris Mallick made didn't come from ePassporte ? That's what I call a failed investment.

Simple economic theory dictates that any financial service such as a bank, Paypal or ePassporte runs on a fractional reserve system. It would not be possible to operate otherwise. A regulated system carries a balance of risk , liability and security. ePassporte was unregulated in this regard. Why would you hold ePassporte out to operate at a higher standard when it was not subject to insurance on deposits and regulation ? It doesn't make sense.
