bump to the top, WTF is going on?

Does anyone have any serious input ?

Cut your own checks.

How hard can it be for these programs to cut their own checks?

From Sapphic Cash...Seems like their accounts are unfrozen:
We have received word from Webmasterchecks that their account has been unfrozen, and their checks are clearing now.

If you have any checks from us from Webmasterchecks, it is ok to deposit them now.

If you've already sent checks back to us, then we will replace the checks as soon as possible.

Also, we would like to announce a new payment method called Europayment for affiliates in the European Union.

It is a special kind of lower-cost wire that must be sent in Euros to an IBAN account number in an EU country.

If you use this method, $10 will be deducted from your payout to cover our fees, then we will convert your payment amount to Euros using the the exchange rate on the day we send the payment. We will send the Euros to your EU bank account. Depending on your bank and country, your bank's fee for you to receive the money will typically be between two and eight Euros.

We believe Europayment will be much cheaper (and definitely faster) for most EU affiliates than depositing a US check.

The minimum is $250, and higher minimums are selectable ($500, $1000, $2500, and $5000).

We are strongly urging all EU affiliates using checks to change to this method or to ePassporte. This might become mandatory for EU affiliates in the future.

We need to do everything we can to limit our exposure on checks because if something happens to a check processor, then we're essentially out two times the amount of money we end up owing affiliates.

We are also urging all non-EU affiliates to change to ePassporte or wire, for the same reason.

We appreciate your understanding and help.

bump ^^^

they posted a statement

just got this email from them

Let me first say that I am very pleased to announce this news we just found out.

All Webmasterchecks? accounts are being reactivated by the Department of Justice and our business is resuming normal operations. Any checks that were issued from our US Bank account will be able to be cashed and clear immediately. Our Bank of America account is moving more slowly and should be fully reactivated by tomorrow. Please have your affiliate?s hold Bank of America checks until we send out the confirmation that all is clear.

We would like to give you some background into our situation. When we started researching doing this type of business in 2003-2004, before launching in 2005, we discovered there were not any similar types of businesses that did what we do. Looking further into it, we discovered that many had been turned off by the government for sending out gambling payments or acting without compliance to important anti-money laundering rules, or because they had issues managing their funds and became insolvent.

Knowing this, while building Webmasterchecks, we formed extensive due-diligence procedures to comply with the Patriot Act, Bank Secrecy Act, Anti-Money Laundering laws, Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), Know-Your-Customer, UIGEA (gambling), registered with the Treasury Departments Financial Crimes Enforcement Unit, and took many other precautions. To give you an idea, an AML/BSA Risk Assessment typically runs 70k+, not to mention the Independent Audits and so forth.

During our business continuity audits, we had never expected our bank accounts to be frozen with no previous notification to us or our attorneys. To help prevent this from happening again in the future, our attorneys are proactively in the process of contacting all government agencies that have the authority to do these types of freezes, indicating our willingness to cooperate fully and establishing a relationship so that they can contact us directly in the future if any questions arise.

As stewards of our clients funds, we take these matters very seriously. We hired the right attorney, retained attorneys at a large Washington DC firm including a former assistant US Attorney General and general council to the Department of Homeland Security and got the matter resolved as quickly as possible.

In the next several days we will be providing you with a letter from our banks indicating that we are in good standing, a letter from our attorney with an explanation of what happened, and our attorney is meeting with the Assistant Attorney General of Maryland in the next several days to request a letter of explanation of what occurred, as well as a statement that they have found that we have not acted improperly in any way, and we will pass this over as well.

Webmasterchecks is moving forward. We understand the government has an important role in regulating all banking activity and we will continue to comply with all of the best practices established.

We look forward to resuming all operations and thank everyone for their patience while we resolve this matter fully.

good news.

Thanks for the few that offered some serious input.

Yeah it seems they've gotten their money free'd up from the Government. TBH as quick as they were able to resolve everything (and nothing moves quick when the government is involved) says a lot about the way they do business.

I know it scared the industry, but I for one feel they are more secure now more than ever. 2cents

Well said :2 cents:

Congrats to Webmaster Checks for clearing this up and getting shit done. You guys did the right stuff :thumbsup

Thumbs up Webmasterchecks :thumbsup
