Part of the problem is Visa's and the banks they allow to sign up people to be third party processors.

I've been in business a long time and can safely say I have never seen such ineptness and amateurism from people who are supposed to be dealing in the financial world.

They allowed the situation to get as bad as it is and now we have the knee jerk reaction which does no one any good.

They could not see which sites were ripping people off. The sites that were just a straight scam and the sites that were not delivering what they asked for? Of course they could, they just hid it with the good sites making up the difference.

They did not know which sites were processing through the US and breaking US laws or Visas guide lines on what is and is not acceptable porn?

Of course they could of, how dificult is it to enter the word Skat into a Google search and see what comes up and where they process. Or the third party processors to keep an eye on who is delivering the right product and who is not.

No they all just went for the quick buck and bugger the consequences. Now the axe has fallen, who's neck is it about to hit? Ours.

Us people running websites, largely a bunch of newbies to the business world. We are meant to be inept amateurs or plain crooked. They were meant to be people who could be trusted with running a financial business and time and again they are exposed for their short comings.
