I know a lot of people are upset with Epass and this whole mess, but I think that it could actually be good for the adult business. My prediction is that once this issue have been settle down, either webmaster took their money out or it lost forever, this industry will be better off than before. As it become more difficult to send/receive money, more people will just leave the industry then simply start over again. More likely more people will be selling their biz. This have already happens but the pace will pick up speed. That will decrease the number of competition (for both freesites and paysite owner) and it will weed out the bad guys especially those from countries where laws as less likely to be enforced.

It will also make it less likely that people who try to scam the system (i.e. like carding, fraud, etc) will leave if payment they receive are more difficult to get because if you are a criminal you surely don't want to send ID of yourself. And those criminals living in coutries like US/CAN/UK etc., surely would think twice before sending in their IDs. Before all this mess, AWE/Perfect Gonzo (now gone) and others can actually set you up for an epass account even if you are located in countries where fraud are highly suspected and very difficult to get an epass account. Not only will they create you an account, they actually will mail you an epass card too. In this process, criminals or those who in this business to do shady stuff can easily hide their identity. But now it will be much more difficult it likely most will leave.

Newbie coming into this industry will more likely to get crushed as they are now fighting to earn a profit, and now must also find ways how to easily get paid and send money to keep their business afloat. As the latter becomes more difficult it just would be too inconvenience for those making under 1K/mon to stick around in this business.

If you already go a big chunk in epass, write it off as a loss in your taxes. In the end I think this industry might turn out better than expected when all the dust are settle.
