From the way I understand of the daily limits, yes you have a limit on how much cash you can withdraw in a day. This is true for everyone, and I think the highest "easy" limit to get ist he select account. Around $600 a day. So how can the thieves withdraw the cash from the hacked accounts and side step such limitations? They don't have to.
Check your Virtual Visa limits:
Load Limit US$1,000.00 US$1,000.00
Single Cash Transaction Amount US$1,000.00 US$1,000.00
Number of Transactions 20 20
Number of Loads 10 10
Notice that while there's a limit to the number of transactions and the maximum of each trasnsaction, there's no limit to the total.
If I hack your Epassporte account and transfer money from stolen account, to stolen account, all I need on the end is a merchant that will accept virtual visa, perhaps from some Eastern European Block country, or other shit hole and bam they can hit up a single account through Visa for up to 20K.
Impossible you say? Think back to the various GFY posts over the last little while of people complaining about fraudulent virtual visa transacations. If my considerable memory serves me, as it usually does, Epassporte's position on each of those instances was basically "They had the credit card number, the CVV2 and the address. We can not reverse a virtual visa transaction.".
Yes, I'm not only smarter than you but I'm much better looking too.

One minor problem is that visa transactions take a few days to clear, and can be charged back at any time? So, if this strategy was actually used, epass would be able to recover the funds...
