My/Our claim would be in excess of your threshold. One of our corporations is incorporated in Curacao, Dutch Antilles. We have legal contacts there.

Most of of us, myself included, knew we were dealing with businessmen of less than the best ethics.

One thing that bothers me is tossing good money after bad. SKNAB may have the funds. However, this bank's financial statements, at least those that I have seen ( Eastern Caribbean Securities Exchange (ECSE)), have been accepted unaudited for over a year now by it stock's listing exchange.

Of course, we can try to contact the bank and attempt to resolve this matter independent of ePassporte. But this doesn't let ePassporte off the hook, ePassporte acted with recklessness, negligence and/or with collusion as our fiduciary in placing our funds in jeopardy with SKANB.

"Sorry, we can't get your money" is not acceptable. You can't make a rock bleed however it can be crushed into sand.

Since both ePassporte and SKANB are not US corporations there would be little recourse within the US Federal Courts.

1.) Attempt to settle these claims with SKANB but not get played for time.

2.) Try and locate ePassporte's assets and see if we can have a court attach the assets remaining toward recovering enough to make any legal expenditure worthwhile.

3.) Form a Committee of Creditors if the Bankruptcy Laws of the Dutch Antilles have a provision for Involuntary Bankruptcy ? force ePassporte into Bankruptcy. (Only if some substantial recovery is possible.)

I will be doing #1 Today ? sad to admit but I got played for time by ePassporte's bullshit.
