Things dont look so beautiful for Chris Mallick
'Middle Men' Producer Puts His Real-Life Porn Customers in a Squeeze
Paramount Pictures’ “Middle Men” was a flop last month despite positive buzz. But that was the least of the problems for producer Christopher Mallick, who based the film on his own ecommerce online porn business - which is now in trouble, a Wrap investigation shows. As owner of the Visa-branded ePassporte, Mallickis the middle man handling transactions in the tens of millions of dollars for an extensive network of online pornography sites. In a rare move, Visa International has suspended transactions with the virtual payment system, an equivalent to Paypal. And it's not the first time ePassporte has hit a roadblock. In 2008, Mallick was forced to stop processing its gambling transactions in the wake of a widespread federal investigation of the industry. Visa’s action last week blocked online porn enthusiasts when they attempted to use what amounts to a prepaid cyber credit card. According to frantic chat-room postings, ePassporte account holders worldwide also have been blocked from accessing untold sums of cash through ATMs using pre-loaded cards. One ePassporte customer purportedly has $248,758.38 in his account. More here http://www.thewrap.com/movies/column...-squeeze-20733

Re: Things dont look so beautiful for Chris Mallack
Got to mention this for sure
A Visa spokesman declined to elaborate when contacted today by TheWrap. Officials of the Caribbean bank didn’t respond to messages. As Mallick’s company comes under scrutiny, so, too, does his fresh Hollywood face. Thanks to “Middle Man,” Hollywood’s familiarity with Mallick's background apparently extends no further than his central role in porn. But the filmed account omitted several colorful footnotes. A Texas native, Mallick is the son of George A. Mallick, a Fort Worth oilman whose undisclosed financial ties factored into the downfall of Jim Wright, the former U.S. Speaker of the House. In the mid-1990s, SAM Group, a health financing company which Mallick founded, filed for bankruptcy. A related lawsuit revealed a checkered history of personal tax liens, judgements and lawsuits involving Mallick. Next, he helped found PayCom, one of the earliest porn-billing systems and a pioneer in online-purchasing technology. Several years ago, the company clashed in court with MasterCard and lost in a case involving the billing of porn sites. He launched ePassporte after splitting from PayCom. But his new company drew the attention of the U.S. attorney for Manhattan during a sweeping investigation of internet gambling. After the company was advised of the probe, two years ago ePassporte ended business with poker sites. “Although we do not believe we have done anything illegal, we do not wish to be associated with anything that might be considered illegal by the United States government,” ePassporte wrote to one off-shore operator of one site. Finally, last year, the U.S. Tax Court ordered him to pay more than $280,000 in taxes, plus almost $40,000 in penalties, after concluding he under-reported income in 2005 by hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That link goes to an in depth story about this mess and the role gamblers had been using Epass fraudulently. Gonzo I told you weeks ago Epass was headed for bankruptcy. |
