Epoch is not above a government agency. If they want the IDs, they can go WITH law enforcement, to the location listed for that content on my 2257 page, during normal business hours, and see them. That shouldn't be a problem. If the FBI and other law enforcement agencies have to do that, SO DOES EPOCH.
The FBI will not be sending an email to me to inspect my records, the same as I would not send the IDs to the FBI via email. Why is Epoch above the law?

The FBI does this because they have no power over your Company directly, that's why they inspect.
With 3rd party processors, they do have the power. It isn't your merchant account, they aren't even your members and really it isn't your money. Understand, they can do ANYTHING and ask ANYTHING they want, and you have no power to say no.
All it takes it someone to make a claim, and you will be forced to provide proof.
Compliance checks isn't just for VISA, it's for U.S. Laws as well.
And thank god they do... I would NEVER want to work with a 3rd party processor that didn't make sure every client was perfectly in check. It's not your money, just like it isn't mine, so you screwing with them, screws with me and everyone else too.
