More prosection of e-wallets?

[MiltonFriedman]

I have been told that epasporte only handles poker deposits, not sportsbetting site deposits. That may be well and good for post UIGE Act, but misses the point:

1. The Steve Lawrence indictment and the BetonSports indictments were for largely PRE - UIGE Act activity.

2. Can you say that epassporte pre-UIGEA never took sportsbetting deposits ? If so, then they may be in the clear. If they EVER took sportsbetting deposits, then they are NOT in the clear any more than Neteller AND

their owner likes to run with the "Hollywood" crowd according to Variety .... they certainly have a presence within the US.

I think, but don't know, that Epassporte has never serviced the online sports betting industry. Its owner is involved in the adult pornography business. So he has experience in fighting the DOJ in court. I agree with Skall that if the DOJ indicts him or Epassporte or interferes with its banking relationships, Epassporte will fight in court.

I merely quoted it. Never said he was God. Just posting info I found, without bias one way or the other.

Not trying to pick on you yahboohoo, but others who read this thread need to know the details.

And from what I can see, with no inside knowledge, JP is right: epass was first primarily a porn funding wallet. When Neteller bailed, it moved to step in, but only to poker sites. I suspect epass has a pretty sharp legal team, balanced the risks v. rewards, and chose its current path accordingly.
