Epassporte wire has "gone out"
 

Just an update, today my funds were taken from my wallet and I was given a confirmation that my wire had gone out. Now I'm just waiting for it to show up in my bank account.

For the record my wire was requested last thursday evening and I have done many wires in the past so epassporte had all my documents.

Fingers Crossed, also for the record this is a LARGE wire and will put to rest some of the fears and speculation if it comes in without issue.

thanks,

Mine requested at last Thursday did not even go out.

Good luck man. I was told wires would take 7 to 10 business days. So it sounds about right that yours went out today.

Good luck! That's good news at least!

:2 cents::2 cents:

I do hope you have the action plan how to deal with taxes once it hits your account, as well as the AML laws...

Get your wires in before the money runs out!

:2 cents:

hopefully soon for you...like I said over the years I have probably done 25-30 wires with epassporte so they have all my documents/id ect. So it is probably one of the easier ones

pray for me

lol I pay my taxes and wasn't hiding anything in epassporte so I'll be okay:)

It is funny and sad that so many people think we all used epass to hide from the tax man :1orglaugh

What he said +1

AML inspection will trigger if you transferred more than certain amount. In Serbia, it's 15k euros.

But if you paid taxes, I am sure you'll be fine...

I have got many 50-100k wires from epass

in Serbia Car drives you


sorry couldn't resist

I have received all 3 ACH request from my wallet to my checking account. Faster than normal.

a positive epass thread? this one is just gonna slide down the page with hardly any views/replies

indeed :thumbsup

We definitely have some tight laws over here... where are you from btw?

Did you have any money in the VISA side of things?

Great, let us know when the money will appear in your bank account :thumbsup

still have a few thousand in VV yes

maybe positive maybe not, who knows if they have a funds to sent out all wires, maybe only small amount to pay some of larger players here, and shut us for a while

good luck with wire and VV

In Serbia we kill with one punch! :thumbsup

how many people
A)Submitted an application last thursday
B)Had all documentation and ID already with epass and approved

dont think it has anything to do with being a "big player" seems reasonable to assume I was one of the first.

anyway my point was that the crazy tinfoil hat type threads that are just getting out of control get a million views and bumps...this one will die when I stop posting until I confirm wire has landed or bitch that my money has vanished into thin air.

:)

US wire, or international ?

you're right, when you get your wire (propably tuesday ?) please tell us from which bank it came

also, this was international wire or to account in US ?

canada and I'll keep everyone posted

how big is it? more than $10k ?

much more, I'm gone for the weekend...so I'll post back monday/tuesday hopefully with good news

can't wait to hear some good news... :-)

Good luck man, pulling for you.

In the US if you take any amount bigger then 10k in cash or wire the bank has to report it to the goverement and you best pay taxes on it at the end of the year :) I pay the tax man so i persoanlly could care less. I didnt have epass to hide money i had it for convience.

Hm.....that's so famous......joking!:1orglaugh

michael o. has confirmed me in email today that sending a wire transfer could take 7-10 business days (two weeks) and they will be sending them since funds are there. i guess you are one of the first that sent a request (thursday evening), so i guess you'll be getting it first (there's a queue).

i hope everything gets sorted out soon. oh, and good luck, man! :thumbsup

Im located in Canada, requested a wire on the same date and no funds have been moved out of my epassporte.

Best news so far this week! Sent my request on Friday around 11:00 AM EST. Can't wait!

People using Epass trying to avoid paying taxes are pure amateurs! When you have an Epassporte account your name is linked to a VISA credit card. If the IRS is on you you can bet that they will get the list of major credit cards with your name on it directly from VISA / MC no matter where they come from.

An offshore credit card is probably the oldest trick in the world and any tax inspector from any country perfectly know about it.

and???????????? updaates?

Mon/Tues.

I'll give it a bump:thumbsup

good news so far, hopefully there will be more reports like this one soon.

Well, there is nothing wrong with taxes. But how do you report the income that is not available in your country? Here, once you have the money in your local bank account, you pay the taxes. For example, deposits, checks, wires, and so on. Nobody can check other jurisdictions if doesn't have legal right to do so.

Epassporte is considered offshore, so you probably don't have to report income to IRS while it's not made in the US.

AFAIK you have to report all income, even if it's offshore or you made it outside of the USA.

If you're a US citizen, I think you need to consult a good tax attorney because I believe you are in error. For example: http://www.bankrate.com/finance/taxe...count-tax.aspx

For anyone (not saying you are included in this) who did skirt the law blatantly I believe the IRS has a policy of no jailtime for those who voluntarily try to fix the problem and disclose things voluntarily. So IOW, if you were to see an attorney pronto and deal with the IRS before they come after you, you might stay out of jail. But if you wait you might be screwed if they decide to play hardball and come after you criminally (Sort of like Wesley Snipes). I hope this helps someone.

Thanks for the advice signupdamnit... I am not a US citizen, but I thought tax law might be the same in some aspects... Anyway, thanks for information.

What they care about, and that is good for both US and Canada, is where your activities are. You are free to earn money offshore and keep it offshore but you must be able to prove you were physically offshore as well when you earned it. Working in the US but cashing out of the US isn't good enough...

Of course some are shaving the law, some think that doing your company AGM once a year offshore is enough to pretend activities are done over there but I think if they start an audit on you and find this out it will become a nightmare. I prefer to sleep well at night :)

this is a good thread potentially...cant wait to hear back

WOW!!!

Have a look at what just showed up on my statement!!

10 Sep 2010 Wire Transfer Fee $-50.00 $X.XX
10 Sep 2010 Wire Transfer $-X.XX $X.XX

( of course I replaced actual amounts with those X.XX )

I'll wait till a actually see it in my bank account to celebrate but I think I'll start drinking to that right now!

I sent my request last Friday around 11:00 AM EST. This wasn't my first wire, I was doing one once or twice a month so I was all verified already. Don't know how much it helped.
