    Webmasterchecks settles case with Department of Justice

    from their blog

    Surprise, AZ (PRWEB) December 20, 2010 ? Webmasterchecks is pleased to announce that it has reached a settlement with the United States Department of Justice to resolve all issues associated with the seizure of client funds.

    Earlier this year, the Justice Department placed a freeze on bank accounts belonging to Webmasterchecks. Once the government seized all client funds in the company?s client fund bank accounts, Webmasterchecks worked with government investigators to identify clients not involved with the activities alleged in the government?s complaint. Rich Lloyd, CEO of Webmasterchecks said ?I?m pleased that we were able to work with the government investigators to gain the return of client funds for clients not involved in the actual investigation. I?m thankful for the hard work, integrity and prompt action of the government to resolve this part of their investigation so quickly.?

    Because of the efforts by both the government investigators and the Webmasterchecks staff, the client funds for customers that were not involved in the investigation have now been returned to Webmasterchecks. Webmasterchecks is pleased to announce that it has begun initiating payment as well.

    Webmasterchecks was represented by Greenberg Traurig LLP and Matthew P. Collins (www.mpcpc.com).

    The gov't really threw a monkey wrench into thier business. If they were running everything on the up and up I really feel bad for them.

        I hope they can salvage their business. Did they ever say why exactly the government froze everything?

              if this is true, they are on the short list of payment companies that have paid their clients back, the only other company i can only think of is epoch

              compared to

              365 billing
              Globill
              WebSiteBilling
              ibill
              DMR
              Probilling
              pswbilling
              myvirtualcard/Paymonde

              i cant imagine what they went through and im amazed they are still around

                  i heard at the beginning they were staring at most of the adult money being forfeited, then somehow they were able to work through it.

                  but i also heard them paying through epass had something to do with it, something about epass being associated with gambling

                        Its amazing they were able to walk away with anything if it had to do with gambling, thats what took electracash and gtbill down

                        gtbill had to forfeit 13 million and electracash millions as well, looks like the govt was freezing a lot of accounts around this time

                          Yeah I wonder if it had to do with gambling sites?

                                        Hah, didn't even notice.

                                        Good to hear some positive news on something. I dunno how much money some people had there but I'm sure any money gotten back from them would feel like found money at this point.

                                                            I'm a little bit confused here.

                                                            If the police think someone is laundering money through a bank, do they walk in and shut down the entire bank while they sort things out and figure it out. Why in the world would they confiscate all of the money Webmaster Checks had when they knew from the beginning that the money involved had nothing to do with the original "compliant".

                                                            I think my question is more of "Did they try to shut down a portion of the adult industry" as a "test"?

So much so that they sent a personal courier to my home when the check bounced. They did the right thing and I think you maybe should have stuck with them. To me, the way they handled things was professional and with integrity.

Why in the world would they confiscate all of the money Webmaster Checks had when they knew from the beginning that the money involved had nothing to do with the original "compliant".

                                                                          I think my question is more of "Did they try to shut down a portion of the adult industry" as a "test"?

                                                                          high-risk is high-risk
