Can't remember exactly Tony, but I think there is some substantial sum dumped on the table - but that is just to pacify Visa. They obviously thought thru the third party scenario and are covering their own ass.

But yea.. agree.. it's scary shit and a biz I'd not like to be involved or responsible for under these conditions. It sounds much better to have accountability and funds specifically tied to client accounts as they are recieved from bankers. It's obviously not what is happening with iBill at this time - the lot seems to be in one big melting pot :-)

Next is a solution for the security of funds within North America - else others, possibly via the SEC situation, may help with an enforced "solution"
