iBill ? The past, present and future
 

Anyone who was with iBill before, you might want to see where your money went
This is from a email I got way back.


Hello all, my name is Jonas Brown and I am the CEO of iBill, Inc. www.ibill.net I felt that I needed to help all you merchants who used iBill.com in the past to see the timeline from 95 to 09 and the trail your money took

1995
iBill was founded on December 1st 1995 by Albert J. Angel. According to the Florida secretary of state records located here

2001

iBill was growing at a rapid pace

2002
iBill grew to be the largest payment processor in the world by 2002 and sold to a company called intercept InterCept, Inc. (Nasdaq: ICPT). http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=icpt

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...r-support.html that year. As of the sale date, iBill.com had accounted for all payments and every reserve dollar was accounted for as well. There were no complaints filed on iBill for not paying out prior to the sale in 2002
intercept was a company that was having problems with the shareholders for a stock that was not moving. So they felt that if they purchased iBill, and added it to their portfolio, it would boost the stock. Bad idea


Credit-card processor Intercept's (nasdaq: ICPT - news - people ) 2002 acquisition of Internet Billing, or iBill, may go down in history as one of the most boneheaded acquisitions ever by a public company

2003
Was the first time payouts were not made. Notes were issued as intercept/ibill was not paying the bills

2006
Penthouse International is closed by the SEC there for iBill as well.
2008
Jonas Brown acquires iBill.net and does a overhaul of the once proud company

iBIll hires an outside CPA to audit the Reserve accounts for all merchants two times a year.

2009
Jonas Brown goes to Miami Beach to meet with Albert Angel former CEO of iBill


Please note, I am truly sorry about what happened with your accounts and it is not something we are able to pay for. Intercept or Penthouse destroyed all the records.
In closing, the true people to be upset with is the person who spent your funds. That is intercept and Penthouse International.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email me.

My advice, abandon the ibill brand name and start fresh with something new.
WG

no way to salvage that name. see wireguys post

Good advice right there. The name has been tarnished pretty bad.

This is a joke, right?

Methinks you would have a better chance selling Hermann Göring's autograph in a synagogue than you will selling Ibill here :2 cents:

Ibill huh?? Lol.

sweet mother of god... Ibill? wow

I think I just tasted blood in my mouth....

Bad idea....

'I'ts a 'B'ad 'I'dea, 'L'ame, 'L'ame

Can't for the life of me understand why anyone would choose such a tarnished name that leaves a bad taste in nearly everyone's mouth.

Thats like making a great pizza and selling it under the brand name 'Diarrhea Pizza" - how many do you think you'll sell?

The new I-Bill could offer the best service, but I doubt many (if any) will try it.

Every lawyer in the world would tell yo before forming a new corp to check out the old people who ran under that name first.. Everywhere you go you wil lbe tainted by that name and be hounded by collectors who want their debts paid...

FAIL and no sympathy will come your way.

I doubt that iBill has much of a future. To this day I still cringe at the thought of all the money I lost with them.

Piss on iBill :321GFY

that was pretty lame in itself

Whuddayamean future? I didn't think they had one.......
