Chris saw a big potential in the movie making biz. So his ePass venture comes to the end i guess. Middle Man sucked but he still plan to make a movie in 2011.

try to read some russian boards or hire somebody to read and translate some russian boards.
You learn something new every day... Just found a Russian board bigger then GFY? WTF?

Probably this is all staged and masterminded or has a reason to cover up the dirty stuff behind the scenes.

The guy is not stupid and probably needed to make his next move in his chess/power game. The people here on the board will never know what were the true reasons and intentions.

Closed as in gone? You don't think epass will be back?

I imagine the bank tried to deal with epassporte and have them provide answers, and after a couple weeks gave up (which we can understand, impossible to deal with epass, or even contact them.).

Soon as the bank took over we were told we would see access and some users would have to verify, basically they need to get their ducks in a row and show that there is only a small ratio of nonverified accounts.

Of course, just speculation and I'm no banker.
this is basically also my information. the main problem seemed to be that every user could give another user a gift card and up to the first $5000 there was no identity check

they were involved with internet gambling, nothing more to add. Looks like mallick couldn't say no to some easy money and paid for that big time.

Gaming involvement is also my guess.

The warning signs were there. I remember within the last 2 years or so someone complaining that their bank, BOA or Wells Fargo I think, wouldn't let them transfer funds to their Epassporte account.

Just recently Segpay announced that their bank wouldn't allow them to pay out to Epassporte.

Bank Of America blocked them 2-3 years ago because of their involvement with gambling. But I also read they stopped dealing with gambling transactions when the US started going after people involved with internet gambling. I am sure Mallick (who i believe is a US citizen) didn't want to risk being thrown in jail. Everything I have heard since then they haven't been involved with gambling.

That is why it was a guess, I don't know :)

It may have been account holder verification as stated above or something else entirely.

This would be my closest guess without additional information coming out.

50 reasons why epass closed

spacedog 10-07-2010 07:55 PM
I think ePass would not of shut down had this issue with St Kitts not happened. Over a month of no income coming in for ePass had to hurt them financially.

St Kitts basically KILLED their business.

?This being said, we will continue to do our part to advocate for the official recognition of the unilateral mechanism to ensure that in the event that the threshold is again changed in the future, that we will not be in the position we now find ourselves where we are at the mercy of the bureaucracy of OECD countries. We will also continue with our attempts to being a final conclusion to the negotiations with the countries that we have already initialed tax agreements with and with other countries that we are currently negotiating with,? said the statement.

St. Kitts and Nevis has already signed agreements with Monaco, The Netherlands, The Netherlands Antilles, Aruba, United Kingdom, Denmark, Belgium, New Zealand and Liechtenstein.

Countries the Federation has initialed or concluded negotiations with and are awaiting dates for signature are Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Greenland, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Finland and San Marino.

Yeah... I had heard people saying it but I didn't know why. I see why now after logging into my epass account. :(

Oh you're wrong there, very wrong.

Scum like that always comes back.

Sure a new name, but the same setup, all geared up to do it all over again.

I estimate in about 3 months a new "wallet" provider will emerge and try this crap to have another go, and guess who will be directing it from the shadows..........
