Following the Money, ePassporte Edition
Summary: Visa International suspended the ePassporte Visa program effective immediately on Sept. 2, 2010, at the request of St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank to address unspecified 'program deficiencies,' leaving account holders unable to access their funds. Krebs found ePassporte N.V. incorporated in Curaçao at the same address and with the same managing director, Gregory E. Elias, as United International Bank N.V., the entity users said received their deposits.
Bottom line: Account holders described balances of $3,500 and $14,897 stuck in a payment provider whose bank and directors appear to share the same Curaçao address, and neither Visa nor the bank would explain the deficiencies behind the cutoff.
