As for whether Epassporte will continue to have EFT's available, they have one thing in their favor that Neteller never had. They are a prepaid Visa debit card, and marketed as such. In addition to personal accounts, they offer business acounts, gift cards, etc. It seems unlikely ACH's will start blocking EFT's to prepaid Visa card companies, as there are a large number of them, and prepaid cards are popular.

I may be wrong, but wasn't Firepay the same type of "virtual visa card" system? Why would epassporte be immune to the law when Firepay wasn't?

Firepay is a publicly traded company (Fireone). Epassporte is not. Firepay is strictly a virtual, online service. Epassporte offers both virtual, and plastic that can be used at b&m businesses.
Also, near as I can tell, Epassporte is not accepted at any sportsbooks. This may or may not wind up being significant, but it was facilitating the transfer of sports bets that got Neteller in trouble with DOJ.
