Am I the only one who isn't worried about Epassporte?
 

Or am I just too naive? I think it will be back shortly, didn't doubt it for a second. I'm not talking about the visa functionality, just about the money beeing safe there.

Nah. I am not worried either. Just seeking alternatives.

But I also do not have tens or hundreds of thousands frozen either.

Epassporte can go fuck itself. People have to settle debts.

Nope, not worried yet. It would be impossible to run a business like theirs without the occasional issue with debit cards.

I received a good amount of $ in content sales into epass a few days ago. I am not worried about getting it out.

Yeah like Paypal never fucked anyone over lol.

Put your Positive Feeling in small little bottles, and sell it
You might be able to cure manic depressions ;)

i think paypal will be worse option...

doesn't matter to me one way or the other if they ever existed or continue to exist.

i can imagine the threads is paypal become the norm.

woah! hostility from the fat of the foo. :helpme

Paypal used to fuck people, but you'd still get your money (after 6 monthz)

Exactly. That remark even made me have to laugh out loud.

Really depends on what VISA is doing to them and at whose request. If they've just froze operations and kicked them out, then the money should be sitting there and, theoretically, they should be able to withdraw it and make other arrangements for re-payment of account balances.

If, on the other hand, the cards were frozen pending an investigation for violation of AML (anti-money laundering) regulations or other violations then it could take months (if ever) to get the funds released to the cardholders.

Infosecurity magazine has an interesting article about the ePassporte issue that seems to indicate that this was a VISA action and not an ePassporte/Bank dispute or problem.

I couldn't post the link because I'm new to this board and blocked until I make 30 posts.

that article posts stuff that was just taken off italk or whatever. no one has any real idea, just speculation.

Nope.. Iam being fucked buy a bank too, over a check which I reguarly recieve and now all of a sudden they wont clear it

I am not worried either, I know my money is coming back to me.

In any debtor-credit scenario, a creditor is reserved the right to sue a debtor in court if they are not paying according to the terms stipulated. Although creditors may choose to settle, legal action does occur to debtors. This does not mean the debtor cannot settle it, but the percentage tends to be higher, and in some cases settlement isn?t possible altogether, so the debtor must set up payment plans with the creditor instead. In the event that a debtor does not have sufficient funds for a settlement or payment plan and a creditor does in win a judgment against the debtor, they may be able to garnish the debtor?s wages, freeze his bank account or put a lien on his property depending on his state. It should be noted that the last situation is rare but it is of course possible.

On Thursday when the announcement was made, I thought it was the end of Epass.

On Friday I started thinking about how Mallick is a US citizen living in the US and he'd have to be in a really fucked up position to run off with the money and forever change his life as he knows it.

Now I'm not worried.

so far they are topnotch with me, for like forever...

webcam sites will take a huge hit from this. Lots of webcam girls have money on the visa account

I am not worried at all. Never had an account.
