I think you are right, but this is why the mention of the walletrequest email is strange as that kicked in only after dissolution, and was never mentioned in the context of ACH's before.

Yes, my initial researach was conducted at about 10:00 a.m. on October 8, before the dissolution and the message now shown to ePass users when they log in has changed.

Showing as of a few minutes ago:

" IMPORTANT MESSAGE REGARDING YOUR EPASSPORTE ACCOUNT

Dear XXXXXXXXXXXX,

It is with great regret we inform you that ePassporte must close its doors due to a lack of revenue and circumstances beyond our control.

Effective immediately, the call center, ePassporte's sales and marketing team and risk management staff will no longer be available. A small group will remain to organize wallet requests and help disburse funds. On the ePassporte website, in the near future, wallet holders will be provided further information on what is needed to obtain your funds. This will mainly be a process to protect wallet holder funds from fraud. We expect this will be a simplified process, and as we receive the necessary information, our small remaining staff will process requests as quickly as they can. Please direct your wallet questions, concerns and requests to [email protected].

For those of you with funds on your Visa Accounts, we are informed that St. Kitts Bank is working on a plan to provide everyone with full access to their funds through their Visa Electron Cards or by bank wire transfers and will inform you accordingly.

We appreciate your support for the ePassporte program over the past 7 years and deeply regret we must close our doors at this difficult time.

Sincerely,

ePassporte.com

You have US$XXXXXXXXX available in your ePassporte Wallet. What's this?

Your Virtual/Visa Electron balance is currently not available."

I'm no longer going to even try to speculate as to where the ePass funds are located but I will write this; Mallick is a creep and perfectly willing to be on everyone's shit list but he is a smart creep and may well not be willing to do things which would land him in jail, which is but one of the reasons I think the ePass wallet funds will become available.

I could be wrong but I sincerely hope not!

The message shown to ePass users when they log in has been on the site since at least the 5th October. :2 cents:

Oh, sorry, it appeared for me when I logged in a few days later, so it just may be beause I hadn't logged in for a while that I only saw it then. This whole ePass thing is getting to me curiouser and curiouser though!

Sooooo.. Has there been any more info found out about the US bank maybe having the money?

Could be but I'm not going to say for sure unless and until I am able to verify my info 100%.

The dissolution was 7th October, which means we are now just about a week into the 30 day period where creditors (people owed money) need to formally make their claims against the company to the Liquidator (not seen yet who that is but must have been advertised in the official Curacao newspaper) before the company assets less liabilities can be distributed to interested parties under Netherlands Antilles (now Curacao) Law.

Personally, if I was owed money at this time, I would be finding out this information and at least getting my claim in now. If people don't do this, the epassporte shareholders could legally claim all assets.

I got the same info from my bank... the source of the ACH wallet w/d's was Kenney Bank. I called, finally got thru to someone, and it led to my getting my funds back. Quite a few long stretches of time between emails from the epass person who got involved... including the last week when he didn't email back at all and I was sure I had been strung along. But then got email from another department "epassporte wireteam" , did what they said to do - resubmited couple forms and sent a new one. Then received wire for entire amount Nov 3. $11,000.13

thanks for the research...it makes me feel better. :(
