Details Magazine Feature about Epassporte and Christopher Mallick

[mrsanj.b]

I'm writing a feature for Details Magazine about Christopher Mallick and the collapse of Epassporte and I wanted to ask the good people of GFY for their information and assistance. Particularly:

• People who have lost sizeable sums of money on Epassporte.
  
• People who have been paid back sizeable sums of money by Epassporte.
  
• People who know, or have known Christopher Mallick personally and can shed light on what kind of a man he is, either as a friend, boss, business partner or whatever.
  
• People who may be able to connect me with any of the above (friend, boss, business partners)
  
• People who may have information about why and how the company went under.
  
• Anyone who worked on the Middle Men movie.

If you think you can help please comment on this thread or contact me by email. I'm happy to speak on the phone too, if you prefer. If you feel the need to remain anonymous for any reason, then I'll respect that, just be sure to let me know. But like any journalist, I can only use information that's on the record.

Thanks in advance for helping me tell this story properly. I look forward to hearing from you. My email address is [email protected].

Cheers,

Sanjiv

i highly doubt he works for details

[V_RocKs]

What kind of man is he? Ambitious, impulsive, driven, excitable, self conscious.

Who lost money? Someone will post a link to the tally GFYers created.

The company went under because it didn't store profits as cash. It paid out the owners sizable amounts of cash so it literally ran paycheck to paycheck. When Visa cut off its cash flow it simply could not cover its day to day debts. It lacked liquidity.

if it's Sanjiv Bhattachary, he does.

to be honest, it was just a matter of time before mainstream media took on the story, so i would not be surprised.

Homegrown Video was in Details once too...

Amazing how few recognize an opportunity when it is staring them right in the face. I wish I had more than I have.

I will hit you up on that email. Don't have much but it is something.

Details magazine is for the gays.

[lagcam]

I have no idea how they have managed to keep it out of the mainstream for so long. If only they managed epassporte as well as they managed keeping its demise quiet.

Producer Chris Mallick wearing a shirt with "It's Good to be King" imprinted:



I actually saw "Middle Man" on the last day that it was shown in the Bay Area (a few weeks or so after it debuted). There were less than 10 people in the theater.

The cast and production values were not bad at all.

What I was most disappointed with however, is the portrayal of the adult industry that Christopher Mallick presented.

First of all, he portrayed the character playing himself in this "based on a true story" bio-flick, as some sort of hapless victim, that is unwittingly and unwillingly drawn into the adult industry.

His story then unravels with this ridiculous plot...

According to "Middle Men", Paycom founders, Clay Andrews and Joel Hall, are coked-out degenerate idiots, who were ultimately convicted of felonies and sentenced to jail for their involvement in child porn.

Meanwhile, Mallick's character is instrumental in capturing/killing legions of terrorists as a result of his own involvement in porn. Yeah, right.

Apparently, the Chris Mallick character also is unindictable and bulletproof in his supposed involvement with the Russian mob and a murder which he shown as having a part in, as well as the shooting of another person at a party, with multiple witnesses.

Any suspended disbelief has by now, been permanently suspended. Only an idiot or oblivious egotist could make a movie this implausibly bad.

To add drama to this already vacuous plot, Mallick interjects how he was seduced by a lone porn girl into infidelity with his wife, but then ends the movie suggesting that he left the adult industry to return to his wife and family, when in real life, Chris Mallick remained in the industry until he drove ePassporte into the ground over the past few days, and while in fact, his wife divorced his sorry ass long ago.

If anyone trusts this lying sack of shit with their money again, either in adult or Hollywood, get ready to be taken for a ride by this greedy, selfish, and cowardly, egotistical charlatan.

Why doesn't everyone the lost money meet up at Christopher Mallick's home on the same night and ask for your money back? Now that would be something to write about

I'm not a lawyer. I do write for Details. I'm a freelance features writer, Sanjiv Bhattacharya, and I set up [email protected] specifically for this story.

I've found a ton of stuff on GFY and on the other sites that people have created over the last couple of months. I'm looking to take things a step further and understand why and what happened here. Clearly Mallick is a controversial figure to say the least (!), and I appreciate all the help and information you can give me about him, his businesses, personality, reputation and so on.

Thank you guys.

[Agent 488]

hope you can find the real reason epass collapsed and where the money went. no one knows for sure. maybe people will speak to you. there has to be some disgruntled employees out there. good luck.

[TylerBang]

I will certainly give you all the info I have on Chris Mallick.

From St. Kitts, to Curacao to Wisconsin to Marina Del Rey to El Segundo to Fairfield Texas.

Would you like to know about his children and how they can be contacted?
They should have alot to say about dad.

How about his "wife"? Would you like to hear her sing live and meet her?

You should also try to contact Billy Sorrentino.

I didn't lose a penny with Epass otherwise I'd be all over this.

LOL, are you serious? He went for the sympathy vote. The victim turned hero?

What a pompous ass.

I would watch the movie, but no torrents have it.

malloick took my money, what to say...

Over 21 million lost according to this site:
http://www.epassportelawsuit.com/

You should look into how Chris setup their own bank to hold ePassporte account holder deposits (wallet deposits, not visa) and if Mallick took loans to fund his films from his own bank. It is pretty clear he did this and I am sure this is what destroyed ePassporte. I posted all the details here a couple times.

Did you see the photos of him in Mexico on holiday when he told all of us how he was working day and night to fix the problem?

[Lykos]

I lost 4,5k .....

Don't forget the suicide. A webmaster who lost a bunch of cash on epass that he needed to cover his players on a sports betting site offed himself.

[Paul Markham]

A word of caution. Be sure to double and treble check everything you write. No one is likely to sue a poster on GFY. But an article in a magazine is a different story.

Hope you can find out the truth about where the money went to.

[CaptainHowdy]

Alrighty then...

Yes! It was a poker site and he used ePassporte for his rakeback. He had (has?) around 200k in his account and his funds being frozen destroyed his business. Here is the main thread on this, started by a friend of the guy that killed himself: http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=988829

Yes, Mr. Mallick is a victim, according to himself. Remember how he describes all the people he stole from as "crazies" on his Facebook profile?

I know you're a lot older than 99.9% of us, but I think he knows.

"A former features editor and current contributing editor for British GQ, he has written for several magazines and newspapers including The Observer[1], The Daily Telegraph[2], The Times, The Los Angeles Times[3], Marie Claire[4], Maxim and Details[5]. He writes generally about social issues, fringe groups, the entertainment industry and boxing.

In 2006 he wrote and presented the Channel Four documentary The Man With 80 Wives,[6][7] about Warren Jeffs, the fugitive prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He was subsequently commissioned by Simon & Schuster to write a book of investigative journalism about Mormon polygamy."

Some pieces of information

Mallick is now a term in the Urban Dictionary
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mallick

mallick

To scam or steal money through deceptive business practices

I can't believe my uncle fell for one of those Nigerian scams. They totally mallicked him out of $10,000

CCbill and Epassporte in bed together?
http://www.gofuckyourself.com/showthread.php?t=992256

The owner of CCbill, Ron C, is the personal friend of Chris Mallick. He lent out his private jet to be used in the movie "Middle Men" and he also had a role himself as a cab-driver.

CCBill's office address was also used in the beginning, prior to Middle Men establishing their own offices.

Unfortunately most of the pics have been deleted. Does someone have a backup of them? Well, there are still some good pictures to use.

You should investigate how Chris Mallick distributed all the ePassporte account holder's money through his own movie production companies. It is not pocket change

Many of the former ePassporte employees are now employed in the movie production. Some as co-producer.
