ePassporte goes the way of Neteller...

I received the following message from the folks at Walker Poker, which further confirms what has been reported elsewhere that ePassporte is bidding farewell to the U.S. market:

Walker Poker team would like to update you that due to the recent notification by Epassporte, players will not be able to deposit and withdraw via Epassporte until further notice.
Walker Poker team, as always, support ALL our players from around the world, and is working on providing the best methods for handling you money.
Walker Poker players can use all our other available processing methods, including Credit Cards and EwalletXpress, which support U.S. players as well.
Walker Poker team would like to recommend all our U.S players to open an account with EwalletXpress, which is very similar to Epassporte but much easier to fund and handle your money. In order to have an account with EwalletXpress, simply click here or visit http://www.ewalletxpress.com

Hate to see it happen. I don't like the idea that businesses are being muscled out of the US market, which seems to me is what is happening here. No charges were brought against the company, just the threat of pricey legal wrangling is enough. Of course now we just all sit back and wait for the next funding method to appear. It's all sort of like watching a giant game of "Whack-A-Mole" being played out on a global scale... and unfortunately it's the tax payer's money that's being used to keep putting tokens into the slot for the government's next turn at bashing another payment processor in the head.
