maybe thats the reason they wanted to wait untill the merge was done?

lagcam 09-09-2010 08:28 PM

Did anybody mention yet that the announcement was signed off by Chris Mallick FOR Epassporte rather than as Owner of epassporte?

I don't know if we can read anything into that.....especially in light of lol_cat's post above....

As regards the general tone of that release, it read to me as though people (who could prove their ID I guess) would be paid out (eventually), that the present system was finished, but they would soon announce an alternative ("better") one that would "satisfy" us all. Anybody also think that?

Michael,

this is by no means directed towards you.

But this bullshit statement is a bitchslap for all epassporte users and is causing a major drop in trust. My trust in Epassporte just hit rock bottom. Coming up with such a lousy statement hacked together within 10 minutes without a message after a week is pure bullshit.

I had high hopes all through the week, even if the situation cause me real big troubles and I am by far not yet out of it. This message of Mallick is much worse than saying nothing at all. Fuck.

good catch but it might be their server couldn't handle the traffic .I am sure eppasporte gets tons of traffic now, not only from forums but also from big media sites etc...

Shap 09-09-2010 08:43 PM

That chris malick for epass is a good catch and really odd

Shap 09-09-2010 08:46 PM

As is changing hosts mid crisis.
Looks like he's distancing himself and old host from situation.

Sounds just like what iBill said too...of course it was all bullshit. :disgust

If it was a compliance issue with ePassporte, then the blame clearly belongs upon Mallick and his company - they didn't do everything which they could do to protect their customers.

It's possible that Mallick was too busy trying to be Chris the Producer/King of an ego-fueled movie that bombed, instead of Chris the CEO overseeing the proper management and operations of ePassporte.

This Bud is for you Chris "Good To Be King" Mallick:

Based on what I'm seeing, ePassporte has not moved hosting nor changed IP ranges for quite some time.

The Sept-9th date is the date Netcraft last queried the site - it's not the date the server / IP changed. It appears ePassporte been with the current host / in same IP range for about a year.

yea, you are right, I jumped to conclusions too quickly, someone probably went to netcraft today and queried epassporte.com and that's why it was updated today...

That someone is me. I've been monitoring their hosting since the crisis began. That is no joke either. I simply re-queried using netcraft in order to display it to people.

They changed on the 8th/9th of September.

and what did they tell you? Yes Sir, we are already on the case & we have a warrant for Mr. Christopher Mallick, he is now hiding & a fugitive.

We think he is probably hiding in the mountains in Pakistan. We traced is steps from bank statement record purchases. Last purchase was made with an Epassporte Visa, he bought a Kebab & sugar cane juice in a local hotel in Islamabad. Interpol is now looking for Mr. Mallick.

lol_cat 09-09-2010 10:20 PM

Maybe a way for us to work out roughly how many wires they're dealing with is if we post up our ticket/document ID numbers? That way we'd know if we're looking at 1000s or 10s of thousands. Might be helpful.

My reference number is: Reference No: 2227xx

Which was received on Sep 7th, submitted on the 4th.

Our primary job is getting your money available for you to use as quickly as possible - so we are allocating all of our time and effort to the task of tracking down every possible method of completing that mission as quickly as possible, rather than taking the enormous amount of time needed to draft pretty memos that mean nothing while your money remains in limbo. We are aware that any message other than 'your funds are now available' is not going to be sufficient to keep our clients happy. Let us get you your money back NOW and we will be glad to talk all about what happened and how we solved it after that important work is completed. Your money is safe, our company is rock solid and as soon as we are able to announce that your funds are available we will be glad to do so.

Saying news will be available tomorrow really created a spotlight that could only backfire...

All Michael is doing is posting what he is being told. They told him there would be an announcement and they sent him the crap that was posted. All he did was post it. Michael is not in a position to do anything other than what they are instructing him to do.

SironMe 09-09-2010 10:35 PM

Okay, letme say to you something:
1) no one finance system as epassporte cant functional normally after a long time frozen, so, for they it will be better just close epassporte without any moneybacks and open new service.
2) just think, guys with big amounts stop post in these threads, may be its because they already have a deal with epassporte.

its now a time to do a forced arrangements for moneyback.

Exactly, they will probably close up shop and open a new service with someone else as the main guy to hide the fact that it's the same people. We will NEVER get our money, because epass probably pissed it away on that gay movie.

That is not what it says at all. I checked a few domains and they all had been last queried on Sept 9 or 10th

http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?...epassporte.com
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.gfy.com
http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?...ckyourself.com

Hell, it may query when you use the site so the date will always change.

Ok, so who has received a wire for the money in their wallet? If there is 1000s of requests causing a back up, then surely a decent amount has gone out as well... or are they all stuck on the first 1 for the last couple days....

Can just one person confirm that they received a wire?

Why? All he did is pick what he wanted out of various boards and write an essay. There is nothing new there that I noticed.

who based in USA report to law, fbi to investigate this issue. From this statement I see only brain wash. They are saying what we want to hear but no specificity.

Yep, its just a psyhological tactic. When you just told thats all you money has stolen and fuck you off, you so angry and go to police. But if you dunno do it asap, you evil are gone, and you think then.... ahhh fuck them all, i dont need it.

Jdoughs 09-09-2010 11:44 PM

Looks like the company who made the film, the company epassporte, and the company who owns the bank the business wires have all gone to are owned by the same people, and list the same employees.

Now doesn't that just spell fucking rip off.

The person sending info on nonexistant wires is an Executive Assistant @ Oxymoron Ent.

It may be too late for me to follow along, but this thread looks like some 'missing links' and maybe a real answer (not a good one).

'We too have funds that are stuck in the system, as well as massive costs of operation without any income.'

Would like to know as well, also if anyone has gotten an ACH transfer from wallet to a checking account.

Why wasn't this or any other statement sent to epassporte holders? I don't come to gfy anymore, but had to come here to find out any info on epassporte?? I'm sure there are others that don't come here either, so why not send emails to users? I haven't gotten one single email from epassporte since this all started! :(

LMFAO!! gotta love the title of this one: 'Middle Men' Producer Puts His Real-Life Porn Customers in a Squeeze

http://www.thewrap.com/movies/column...-squeeze-20733

no real new information (just like this whole past week of hitting "reload" every 20 min on my browser on this forum and google news), but I thought the title of this site's twist on things was humorous... and there are some new fun facts like "Mallick is the son of George A. Mallick"

I especially enjoyed the "In a rare move shrouded in mystery" comment lmao

and they also reference gfy lol

and the closing statement made me pee a little: "Now his ePassporte customers are anxious to learn the naked truth from the middle man about their cash".
