I'll say it again, how long until someone attempts to open up an alternative?

There already are alternatives. Chexx I believe is still in operation and a new one opened up a couple weeks back, I think it's called iPayAffiliates, or something like that.

They froze the accounts Monday and we're finding out now?

That's lovely. Not like anyone might have deposited any checks in between Monday and today.

if you want something done right, do it yourself, don't rely on others to cut the checks for you.

We wanted to update you on the banking situation you were made aware of earlier this week. Our attorney was able to get hold of and have a conversation with Baltimore Assistant US Attorney General Richard Kay earlier this afternoon. He made it clear that they discovered one of our clients had proceeded to send payments for transactions that originated on gambling websites. As you should know, we do not process for gambling transactions and have very stringent processes and policies to help ensure such.

As said previously, we are certain our business has all necessary licenses and registrations, has followed all rules and regulations to the best of our ability, and we expect to have a favorable resolution to this as soon as Mr. Kay has a chance to review our due diligence policies and procedures early next week. This is very good news!

I've always found it odd that a large company would want to rely on some 3rd party to do their checks when something like this could happen and turn everything upside down on them overnight... but thats me. You can hire one or two people to cut checks on a frikkin laser printer every 2 weeks.. why take a risk?

Six more bank accounts connected to online gambling have been seized by the Maryland US Attorney's Office. These were all Wachovia Bank accounts held by a company called Forshay Enterprises, Inc., with authorities claiming the monies are related to money laundering activity. Thus far, 15 accounts have been seized in connection to this ongoing investigation. A company called Electracash, Inc. had its accounts seized in the last couple of weeks as well. Accounts tied to processors owned by Edward Courdy and Michael Garone were targeted last year.

lots of gambling busts revcently, my take on this is that Brazzers (or some other client) tried sneaking in gambling proceeds through webmasterchecks, hopefully all they have to show is that they were not aware, they do not accept gambling, and thats it

I had a hunch it had something to do with online poker/casino payments.

In the meantime ... is there a list of sponsors who use Webmaster Checks .. might be helpful ... just to monitor the situation.
