All of this was discussed at length on page 5 of the Epoch/Mastercard lawsuit thread:

But, if you like, I will briefly summarize:
Epoch violated Mastercard's chargeback rules for several months in 2001 and 2002. After that, Mastercard cracked down hard --- imposing millions of dollars in fines and demanding that Epoch restructure their business. Epoch has filed suit saying Mastercard's demands will put their U.S. company out of business.
I just found it interesting that, in the face of these problems, Epoch's principal officers have set up the seperate Epassporte processing entity overseas.
