They will probably buy as much time as possible before they process those requests. That is if they still have access to any OUR money...

Same for a transfer to a credit card or US bank account. No one completed any of these since the official annoncement. Epass says it still works but I think next week we will start getting excuses when we find out it doesn't... Hope I'm wrong...

These transfers are not instant, I wrote above the time it takes.
Wire always take 2-3 business days to send but as you can imagine we are getting a few more than usual at this time but we will review them and send them as quickly as we can but there will be a delay.
The money and fee is taken out of your account the same day the wire is sent.

They made a lot of money charging $0.3 fee on every transaction and yet I could take a piece of that pie by opening a site with one bank account and custom made script...

Also I'm not sure how can I open bank account and ask a bank to make 5 more VISA cards so my friends can withdraw money from my account.

Its not, you would be surprised how money people work for ePassporte, in Tech, Accounting, Account Verification/Risk Management, legal and so on.
ePassporte is not a 2 or 10 man operation run from a basement.

I hope not, I really hope everything goes back to "normal", Epass is/was great for non-US webmasters.


I think this post is about Poker and the exit strategy from there, ePassporte have done dealt with poker related sites in a long time.

I guess people will accept paypal again...

An email should have been sent to your message center if not please give me your UserID and I will look into it.

beta-tester 09-04-2010 08:24 PM

How many employees does the epass have? Excluding the support from India.

rogueteens 09-04-2010 08:29 PM

wow, for the first time ever, i think i've dodged a bullet, never having an epasse account.

Whoever wrote this is stating - as fact - that Mr. Mallick is helping to finance the exploitation of children. And you fucking quote it? In the nine years I've been here, this may be the single most ridiculuous, vindictive, ripped-out-of-an-idiot's-ass accusation I have read on this board.

I do not know Chris Mallick at all, but this is the first thing I've read on GFY that has actually made me angry.

As I said in the post title: Found this "ePassporte Revealed" on the interweb. I cannot post the url per GFY rules.
I didn't write this article. I couldn't either post it truncated, it wouldn't be fair...Selective editing is never fair.
The part that disturb you, did disturb me as well, but it had to stay to preserve the full spirit of the article ...

As in; to show that the author is biased somehow against eppasporte and in a way weakens its own article objectivity and purpose.
Still, it looks like most of the infos there is valid and that Mr Mallick is no stranger to Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

We are all adult webmasters here and most of us noticed that there was something a little bit off in that article as Tempest did point to:

"Middle Men," about the beginnings of the online porn industry, grossed just $305,000 at 252 theaters, giving it an average take of only $1,210. Christopher Mallick, one of the movie's subjects, bankrolled its $20-million budget and paid for advertising. It was distributed, for a fee, by Paramount Pictures.

mightyjoe 09-04-2010 09:27 PM

Mallick and Middle Men

J. Christopher Malick is from Texas, and he has a checkered career in business. One company that handled accounts receivable for health services, went bankrupt; another was embroiled in a suit with MasterCard over costs associated with billing of pornographic sites.

Since 2008, Mallick has headed Oxymoron Productions, a film company that has several films in the works, including Middle Men, a film directed and written by George Gallo, that chronicles the life of someone who sounds quite a bit like the early career of Chris Mallick.

Serious question btw. Happend, for real.

For the rest of it, im with michael o, although its hard to stay relaxed.

I really think they ARE trying to solve things, i just think the real reasons havent been put out in the open, and thats why most webmasters are freaking out.

Think logically. If you ended up getting the card then the answer is obviously no.

[/QOTE]

So you're accusing Christopher Mallick and Epassporte of enabling the exploitation of children via a random link you've found on the internet?

Truncation is irrelevant. Nothing was taken out of context. You support the theory that Epass functionality has been temporarily hindered due to activity involving the exploitation of minors. By quoting these random accuation under your own name, you agree that the opinions included within the quoted text mirror your own, and that you support the claims put forth by "some random, unnamed dude"..

Have you or have you not just confirmed your personal belief that Chrisopher Mallick and Epassporte promotes the propagation and desemmination of illegal activities involving the sexual exploitation children, and that the aforementioned entities evade prosecution of these alleged illegal activities due to arrangements they have made through unnamed charitable organizations?

Yes or no?

Do you believe Epass exploits children as per the statements in your original post?
Did you quote that bullshit because you can't access your account at this time?

Turboface 09-04-2010 10:50 PM

No 2 different companies and ePassporte can not access your funds to invest in other things at any time.

For 20 million he could have produced 20 indies- one of which would have had to hit a chord with the public and become a cult hit.

Bottom line in the end you'd have 20 indie films in circulation from young directors- rather than one big flop- and if you are prepared to take the hit- at least you'd have more movie rights to play with.

The subject is just not Hollywood. Women don't go see movies like that. Kids can't see them. Porn stars don't care about stuff like that- the only people who might find the subject interesting come to these boards. We should be flattered I suppose.

He probably got some bad advice the more I think about it.

ContentPimp 09-05-2010 12:18 AM

This long weekend thing is an excuse and a half. You'd think banks or visa would bend over backwards and hold an emergency meeting anytime when hundreds of millions are concerned not take a hiatus and sip margaritas then get back to work and deal with it like a regular joes individual account.

You obviously have no clue that ePassporte is more than just a debit card we all accept our affiliate payments through... ePassporte is also used as a tool by processors to get around chargebacks. Say a processor has .8% chargebacks occurring and wants to lower that number... Instead of stopping processing they will make a deal with ePassporte to load an ePassporte "card" with the customers credit card for the amount of the transaction. Now if they chargeback they are doing it to ePassporte, NOT the processor. ePassporte is now assuming the risk.

My example may be too simplified or even possibly a bit off. Nobody seems to talk about it here, but it has been mentioned various times before in posts... but never the topic.

romeo22 09-05-2010 12:34 AM

Sunday bump.I hope this mess will end soon and everything will go back to normal!

thaifan99 09-05-2010 12:50 AM

Everyone will get their money, but its very unlikely to be by atm.

Most likely cheques and wires - minus the fees of course.

avm79 09-05-2010 12:55 AM

IMHO
i think it's a bit erly to say about fail of MM. The movie isn't for all, u r right. But MM may get some proceeds in EU and from DVDs. It has chances to win some awards on specific fests which will stimulate its popularity (not Cannes but Berlin, Prague and others), why not? Not only shit happens.

madawgz 09-05-2010 01:45 AM

Is that still going on? I thought once epoch and epass severed ties that it ended.

Regardless, my post still stands. The "addicts" and consumers have no idea what goes on behind the scenes, they're using their regular ol visa and mastercard to get access to porn, not epass.

NO to all of the above.
I'm not accusing anyone of anything.
Quoting an article doesn't mean that I agree and endorse or believe everything or anything in it.
If I had quoted ONLY the bit that bother you...That would be another story.

That article as some interesting points about epassporte..and its survival capacity.

I personally always have had a great experience with epass and hope that are back to normal asap.
