With all that said, DEA in that thread was spot on about ePassporte being risky - and, imho, his overall message was to warn people - encourage them to research more about ePassporte and how they operate, and to plan accordingly.
ePassporte may resolve this situation, but there are some curious things happening that make some wonder ...
According to some, the ATM limits were dropped
about a day in advance of the service suspension (the timing itself makes matters worse being it happened on the heels of an extended weekend in the U.S. due to Labor Day).
In addition, some have posted that funds they
already had in their wallet were inexplicably
moved to virtual visa
without their knowledge nor authorization.
Hoping AVN's recent article is right - if this problem is resolved within a week or two with people being able to access all their funds, ePassporte's reputation will likely recover with many using them again; Micheal O will finally get a good nights sleep again.
