ePassporte Facts

[k0nr4d]

Looks like this question won't get an answer

Yeah no kidding, i've seen it asked like 20 times and no reply to it.
Fact is, if visa says the funds are accessible, it means they are not locked to the prepaid cards. They also certainly do not do live wire transfers between 2 accounts when you move from wallet to vv, because the wire costs would eat them alive. They more likely move money around in a database and do batch wires to move the money from account to account...I of course don't know the internal workings of thier system, but that's how i'd do it anyways...

[kowalsky]

Thanks for the update, and good luck with this process!

[kitti2x]

Thanks Michael!!!!

[mineistaken]

My only question is... Is it Visa that is blocking the VV to Wallet transfer?

Michael as everyone says you are doing a great job and your best with what you got, but some of these questions are important... to understand why this money cannot be transfer via epassporte system is one of them for me

Thanks for your time.

This question must be answered. Shady situation, maybe its just an excuse so they would keep the money.

Ps: if that thursday announcement was going to be good they would say "wait for announcement, it will be good news" or something. So looks like bad news is comming

If the money is gone, and in fact was used to fund the production of Middle Men, then at least give a copy of the movie to ePassporte account holders (co-investors). That's better than nothing?

Imagine investing all that cash in the movie, and then not even be able to see it at least once. What a pity..

According to Visa's statement the answer to that is NO.

[TheSwed]

okay.. I think you have our attention now
soo..please drop the bomb

According to Visa's statement the answer to that is NO.

Are you basing that on an official statement from Visa on their web site or an email, from them that you received, or just on the hearsay and website reports of a statement?

[Sabby]

Please keep this thread clean, if you are going to Troll please do it somewhere else, I do not care about how much you hate ePassporte, make a new thread and email it to me and I will show up to take the abuse. This information is important to a lot of people, so please don't be an idiot.


There will be an official statement from ePassporte Thursday.
I don't know what it will be so no need to ask

No cards are working.
Funds on the virtual card can not be moved or withdrawn.

Funds on the Wallet can be withdrawn.

Withdrawals are possible via:
ACH to US bank accounts.
Original Credit to Visa/MasterCard credit/debit cards.
Wire
If you add a credit card/debit card, US bank account it has to be in your name and address as on your ePassporte account, you may be required to submit documents for the card/bank account
ID
Front and back of credit card (for withdrawals to credit card)
Recent statement not older than 120 days with card/account number and your name and address.
Voided check (for withdrawals to bank accounts)

Wires are going out as quickly as they are processed, we are swamped with request for wires and approving documents.

That is what I know and have been told and the only information I can provide at this time.


On a personal note, I know how this affects a lot of people, their business, their personal expenses or getting food on the table. If there were more I could do I would I am working my ass off to do anything I can to get cards/bank accounts and wires approved. I am just as frustrated as anyone else about this.

May I ask a stupid question???

Why can we not transfer epass visa virtual to a regular visa card?

I honestly do not know what the announcement will be but we will post and send a message to the message center. I am waiting like everyone else.

Some questions I can not answer or do not know the answer to.

Best way to get in contact with me is by emailing me, then I guarantee an answer within 24 hours, ICQ only holds 25-30 offline messages and when I log on I know I missed some offline messages.

[Jman]

According to Visa's statement the answer to that is NO.

Hence why I been asking this question for a while now without getting straight answer... Must be cause I'm french ;)

[lucPL]

when we should expect announcement, in how many hours ? this will stop us from refreshing this thread every second..

Whatever happens just know that you did your best with what you had and I think GFYer's all know that Michael.

But some questions I think must be answered and for us customers who have place our trust in Epassporte not getting an answer to a simple question raises a lot of doubts.

Hang in there mon ami.

This is all I've heard:

[gumdrop]

Are you basing that on an official statement from Visa on their web site or an email, from them that you received, or just on the hearsay and website reports of a statement?

It's an email you receive when you ask them. And it seems to be the same one everyone else gets.

?At the request of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank (SKNA), on September 2, 2010, Visa blocked network access for prepaid cards issued by SKNA and operated by ePassporte.com to address certain program deficiencies. ePassporte.com is a third-party agent that works with SKNA.

?It is important to note that impacted SKNA prepaid cardholders are still able to access their funds through SKNA or SKNA?s agent, ePassporte.com. For more information cardholders should contact SKNA or ePassporte.com.

?Visa is committed to maintaining the integrity of its global payment network and routinely conducts due diligence to ensure Visa prepaid programs adhere to the company?s stringent program requirements and controls.?

Notice the first sentence..."At the request of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank (SKNA), on September 2, 2010, Visa blocked network access for prepaid cards issued by SKNA and operated by ePassporte.com to address certain program deficiencies."


Read the second paragraph..."?It is important to note that impacted SKNA prepaid cardholders are still able to access their funds through SKNA or SKNA?s agent, ePassporte.com. For more information cardholders should contact SKNA or ePassporte.com."

It's my opinion there are some "accounting issues" that occur(ed) once the money is placed into your Virtual Visa account. What those are we may or may not find out.

I'm speculating here:
when was the last time to physically spoke to Chris? You seem very much out of the loop and when was the last time you were paid, if you don't mind me asking? I find it hard to believe that you would come on here and have no more info than the rest of us. Either you know more and not saying or you will be in the street looking for a job by next week. This silence from Chris is actually more telling than anything. You as spokesman w/ no info is also "telling". I'm also aware of how the movie financing biz works. if in fact CM put up $20m to fund the film, he didn't do it by himself. He would put up 30% cash and some collateral then an investment firm would match it...now if he didn't do that, he's in bigger trouble if he funded project ,solo.. There is NO way this movie will make back any of the money and the studio/investors know it. ..no matter how rich a person may seem to be, it is very possible to become cash poor quickly and cook some books and cause "defiencies" as Visa and bank have claimed.

So the money still may be available again, not sudden or we may see chapter 13 so pennies on the dollars can be paid. Movie making is a huge gamble and it's mainly for big companies and hedge fund investors..that's why , even some of the biggest films in history still show it's in the red. ( I have a recent profit print out from last Harry Potter movie..showing it's still in the red)

In the end someone needs to tell these people what to expect and when, so there's no more holding onto dreams or false hopes..so everyone on here and go to their "plan-B" if they have one. Answers are needed NOW

I suspect you are correct on why the vv was suspended. I am sure CM will not (can not) come clean due to soon pending criminal investigations. I would bet dollars to doughnuts his attorney(s) has told him to make no more statements. I dont expect to see a cent ever, and I expect mr cm to either flee or do time.
