Correct, all funds should have been held in what was essentially a trust/escrow account. They should have had separate operating accounts if properly structured.
Whether Epassporte actually did that is the real question.
It's just like when you give a deposit check to a real estate broker; it goes into an escrow account and is never co-mingled with their operating funds. If they deposit it into their operating funds they will lose their license if caught.
