Who Is Christopher ‘Chris’ Mallick? The dirty run down..
After his letting go from web processing giant, Paycom, John Christopher ‘Chris’ Mallick was able to create, ePassporte, from a very generous severance package afforded to him by his previous employer. Essentially a smaller more specialized version of Paypal, Christopher Mallick started this company in late 2002/2003 and it saw many fruitful years.
Things wouldn’t stay peachy forever, though. In the latter part of last decade, Chris Mallick founded “Oxymoron Entertainment” a film and television production company that proved to be anything but the huge success once former e-commerce mogul Christopher Mallick had intended it to be. It was in constant need of cash injections to prevent it from going under and aside from Mallick’s own funds, more funds had to be found quickly.. and from somewhere. In early September 2010, Christopher Mallick’s company, ePassporte had its Visa contract revoked due to what the host bank, St. Kitts-Nevis-Anguilla National Bank Ltd. called “certain deficiencies”. Chris Mallick’s, ePassporte clients were in a huge panic. Chris had no explanation to offer his clients, and the worst was yet to come.
In late 2007, ePassporte inaugurated a special feature to their clients accounts called the “wallet”. This enabled clients to store funds that were not in immediate need of use in this segregated “wallet” portion of the account where it would be kept safe from fraud and misuse. This turned out to be a terrible irony. Funds in the “less safe” Visa portion of the account were promptly returned by the host bank, St Kitts, whereas the bank had no knowledge whatsoever of any “wallet” funds or where they might be. Clients made the fair assumption that any funds deposited into the accounts would stay at the same banking institution, St Kitts.
As it turned out, the wallet feature of the accounts, when money would be transferred into it would be whisked away to another bank or somewhere unknown to the account holder and totally without their consent or authorization. If this isn’t beginning to sound fishy then one of us needs to take “Consumer Banking 101 for beginners’.
