Rand doesn't have anything to do with Epass any more besides keeping in touch with Chris Mallick - the two companies split ways. I truly think what kept Epass going all these years was Epoch and Chris has maintained that relationship in some ways I am sure. Meaning they are in good with Visa, and the only way they will go under.. is if they don' straighten out some of the messes that have been made over the years. Their strong Visa/MC relationship and ONE merchant will keep them in business 'coasting' for years to come - but in the LONG term, there will have to be some pretty dramatic changes.
Hiring some good people to take care of PR was a wise move by Chris, I don't know alot about Chris but I do know he came there (Epoch) as CEO, or CFO one of the two, when Epoch got hit with the $10 Mil fine, if you were around for that and saw how well Epoch fought through that very tough time you know they had a very solid staff in place. If a CEO can get a company through times like that, he SHOULD be able to turn EPass back around.
I have seen some small moves in the right direction since Chris took over 100% ownership, the one thing I haven't seen is ANY steps backwards. Then again it would have been hard to.
Like I said, don't know alot about Chris... but if he was at the helms of getting epoch through that fiasco I have alot of respect for the man. Not to mention I would of made a million dollars less over my life easily if he hadn't gotten them through those times ... Definitely not trying to say Clay, Rand, and other unheard heros weren't a part of the Epoch turn around though... Just that there is a wise man in the chair over there ..
