:2 cents:

yeah the money is extremelly important, but epassporte's visa features are extremelly important for a huge part of us.

and wtf.. i was expecting at least to hear the cause of the suspension.

Good news....... I hope...........

The money is gone, plain and simple. Deal with it. All this speculation and false hope is just going to hurt you in the long run. :disgust

In the faint chance you do get it back, consider it a miracle. Until then, stop hoping, you're just going to fuck yourself over even more than you already are.

a friend of mine who i discuss this with atm just did a funny translation of the statement:
"The details are complicated" = we don't know what is happening
"funds in motion" = we are trying to withdraw what we can and run as fast as possible
"ePassporte's most important asset has always been our account holder's" = thanks you for your money
"We are not going to undermine that asset by treating cardholders in any manner other than the best we can" = we need you to believe everything is safe so we will have time to steal your money
"Most of us have had the unfortunate experience of dealing with banks and card associations that simply “cut us off” and did not pay us" = everybody is nowadays ripping off ... so you should be prepared for this
"it does not help any of us if we are constantly updating you on the basis of the calls that take place almost hourly" = STOP FUCKING CALLING US IDIOTS

I don't say this is true 100% but at least its funny as hell :D

Thanks a lot.

Already feel not only more calm, but reassured my money and the service is safe!

Now I can finally get some decent sleep and not have to worry about this whole thing and the impact in mid/long term in the industry.

So once again thank you for the enlightened and informing PR statement!

I wouldn't trust them with my money.. no fucking way.

Michael O: Man, we need to tell them something... they're really going crazy over there on GFY and elsewhere... I think holding this back any longer will just make things worse
Chris Mallick: Well there's nothing to say, the money's gone, and we can't tell them that, come up with something
Michael O: Something like what?!
Chris Mallick: I don't know, some sort of speculative bullshit, tell them the money is safe, but we have no exact answers on the situation as of it
Michael O: Sigh... ok...

Michael, come on man, I sent an email to you when this first popped off about how important my epassporte funds are to me right now. There has to be a better explanation as to where our funds are at and what solution there is to get my money and when? Please help

We have received a high number of wire disbursement requests and we must manually review each one at this time. Please bear with us while we work through this
backlog. We will notify you once your wire is sent.

all funds are frozen thats why no single wire went out

ACH are working because they have other account, in US, with some small funds only to cover few ACH so that funds are propably gone by now.

I need a timeframe

What about the wallet wires!

Its seems - this is the end. :(

Personally I think this is RIGHT on the money. :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

... and will they ever get access to it. The suggestion that things are delayed because "there are funds in motion" seems a little strange. There are always funds in motion in a banking system and if we have to wait till those funds stop being in motion then we could all be a lot older before we see any of our funds.

has one gone out yet? seriously...if you haven't done any thats not "working through them"

We know who Billy Joe is but who in the ePass debacle is Bobbie Sue?

Just wonderin'.

Sally.

@ Chris.... There has to be some basis though. Whether it's good or not...is that the CM/epass opinion? I'm sure by now, you're received some reason/excuse from the bank as to why it was done. They didn't request Visa to stop it "just because". If you've been in contact with the bank, they have to have told you something by now. Whether it's good basis or not, I'm sure will be judged later.

For the record, I'm not out of any money in this situation. I ask on behalf of the people.

Michael, i sent You mail like 24h ago without any answer from You :(

I just want to know if my money is gone or not so I can get off gfy and have a good night sleep.

What was the reason Visa gave you for cutting you out?

WTF are you talking about? This is NOT something that happens all the time. Don't act like it's business as usual.

Can you give us any information about what kind of calls you are having, and what kind of agreement you want to achieve?

I guess we should all feel sorry for you, huh?

I really do hope you guys can figure a way to turn the table, and I have supported Epass from day #1. But the lack of answers regarding what is really happening is very disturbing.

My money is safe in Mallick's pocket...

The funds are "safe and secure", but ePass is working hard on getting the funds "returned". Huh???

So the VISA cards weren't just "suspended", but instead the funds were seized?

same here :(

You mean Mr. Mallick right?

ok guys you may now sleep. hehehe the long wait is finally over.

Can you conirm wires are going out? Because i am talking with people and nobody got any notification about its wire going out.

EXPLAIN THIS. OR TELL US WHEN WIRES ARE REALY GOING TO BE SENT.

THANK YOU

Ur fucking joking right?> Is this to get ur post count up moron?

its funny that Chris M. had 20 million to sink in bad movie but dont have a few grand to hire more accountant people that could handle withdrawal request FAST

propably one guy is working on it and it will took him like 2 years to review every wire request

No offense, but how the fuck do you figure?

Second, ePassporte is working with the St. Kitts bank to work out how all payments will be made and when.<<<

Michael if Chris is working on ways to get people money to their destination does it mean that visa wont be working longer with epassporte? I mean that you are looking for alternative transfer methods besides very convenient epass card ATM withdrawal?

We are sending out money via ACH and Original Credits these move faster since its an automated process.
Wires have to be handled manually and all employees are working overtime to send them out as quickly as possible.

How does it currently "cater" to us? It doesn't bloody work at the moment.

The only HAPPY thing from all of this...

Yesterday I requested an ACH into my bank account of the funds I had in my wallet.. Today they are in my account. Go figure...

No no no sir, nothing to do with that, the money is gone, there is no dilbert in the basement processing the wire forms one by one

I second that. We need some real answers here.

:(

Michael O: Bring one (1) webmaster here who has got a wire sent to them... screw a big backlog... even with a HUGE backlog at least 1 wire must have gone out.
You keep saying we should wait, but you have yet to state that you have already sent wires... bringing somebody to post proof that they have received a wire would calm people big way.
