QuickTender Statement - 7 June 2011

[anniemac]

Novemberlady,

I wouldn't know how to go about doing that either. Maybe someone here would be willing to give a hint.

E-mail From Quicktender

This is an e-mail I received on 6/21 from Quicktender. The thing is I didn't have any money in my account. I received the payment to my bank on 5/12. Hope this helps....

We are writing to advise that to the best of our knowledge your QuickTender withdrawal for $500.0000 on the 09/05/2011 03:45:37 processed by Chargestream Ltd has been seized by the United States Attorney’s Office (USAO).

We believe in due course an order will be made to the courts to forfeit these funds and as soon as we become aware of further information our intention is to share that with you. Neither QuickTender nor our processing partner Chargestream have the financial resources to make good these funds. However, you will be a valid claimant of a proportion of overall funds seized you can file a claim with the court. You can check as well each day on the website www.forfeiture.gov searching under Chargestream for the notice to be posted.

We had prior to this announcement moved your funds to an ‘uncleared’ status. If you do still have a positive balance we will be advising on how to make a withdrawal of these remaining available funds via a separate email communication.

We realise this is not good news and are deeply sorry that the USA authorities have taken this action to seize and forfeit your funds.

It doesn't matter anyway, you can't even get into your quicktender account. There is no way anyone has access to their quicktender account, to even transfer money to a casino.

This is going to be interesting to see how this all plays out....Now we just wait and see.

they said in July to August for specific days you will be able to log into your account and send the money to a EURO account but that they cannot send to merchants or in US dollars

good news, but....

I think the QT email today is good news, but I have the following concern. If all they are doing is returning players money, why can't they make a deal with the DOJ to allow them to return the player's funds, just like PokerStars did?

There are no indictments against QT to the best of my knowledge, and they are out of business (what US Gov wanted, I presume), so I would think an exception could/would be made to allow for repayment of money, just like pokerstars.

I also think it's strange that the site is not up but yet they are promising to be open on July 1. I hope it works out, but I'm not completely convinced.

I'm just a granny in Texas and would not have a clue how to do that. But thanks for your reply:)

I'd think for $2200 you'd learn ...

See I don't see the recent news from QuickTender as good news at all. Because now your going to have to explain to our government why you feel your entitled to part of those funds. They already know the funds are for gambling. So your pretty much going to have to explain why on god's earth your entitled to gambling funds that they see your not entitled to anyways. Because in there eye's gambling is illegal. Plus even if they are nice enough and gives you a part of the funds that were seized. You know for sure the rest of your life that your gambling. They'll be watching you like a hawk. Unless if it was for a really, really large sum. I wouldn't risk telling the government anything about my personal business. Then again it's not my money or my life.
Pretty much I see this as QuickTender has given up and is not going to pay it's players at all. Which is pretty much what they have told everyone. So now there telling you to go to your government on your and beg for you money or else just not bother anymore.
The only thing is though, where has all those commissions gone that they've collected over the years from us, the merchants, and other sources. I mean hasn't that amounted to anything or is that already gone?

You could approach the government as a VICTIM, since these casinos actively marketed to the US, and kept on making statements that it was perfectly LEGAL to gamble itself. Even UIGEA doesn't ban gambling, but is a law for the BANKS and other third party processors.

You could argue that you are a victim of a widespread SCAM where these sites have gone to considerable lengths to appear legit, including SPECIFIC inducements to US players, such as using the US Dollar, US themed websites and promotions, etc.

You could then argue that the seized funds was from these sites RETURNING your money, and that thay have now "done a runner" with you never having received this money, and that it was THEY who told you to pursue the government, and not them, for this money.

Buried in the text of that notice is something REALLY worrying, given that they claim that they have NOT "gone bust", and will even PAY US customers in Euros if they manage to get a Euro account.

Jesus people.

They aren't going to pay out funds seized by the Secret Service that were wired to US banks in early May. If you requested a wire transfer in early May that you never received, they are washing their hands of those funds.

They appear to be prepared to pay out all other funds to any non-US euro denominated bank account.

This is very good news for anyone with cleared funds. People whose money was seized by the Secret Service are in much worse shape.

Hi, Where did they say that in July or August those with cleared funds could request it?

I have a euro account, been emailing them and never getting an answer.

I have emailed them twice and I have not received a reply to the $300 chargeback....after it was 'cleared' in my QT account.

 

[nygirl30]

QT knows damn well that US player's cant set up an account in Euro's... So once again they found a way not to pay US player's!!

What a bunch of Bull####!!! And even if we could find a way isnt that like money laundering?? Go figure!!

I'm going to ask again.....

WHY can a US citizen not open an account in euros? What am I missing here?

 

[Nifty29]

Still waiting on an ach withdrawal that was approved on June 3rd. Never have gotten it and they keep saying it will come.lol.

What has a Club World ACH withdrawal that got to do with anything in this thread?

If anyone doesn't know about how to setup offshore accounts in euros, I have an excellent resource for you which is better than waiting for someone else to do all the work:

Any US citizen can open an offshore bank account denominated in Euros. There's nothing remotely illegal or sketchy involved.

Didn't you post something like this before? I don't understand your agenda.

Are you serious?? I dont have an agenda, and no I didnt post anything like this before!! I'm just trying to be paid like everyone else..

Nobody asked you to ridicule my post or anyone else's for that matter!!

The problem isn't cant, or why or illegal

Its how.

Can you show me or anyone else an easy way to open an offshore account , in euros, without having to travel to that country, within a few weeks ?

Is there any reason you have to post in bold?

It's quite disturbing.

I am not being a jerk. I really want to know if you googled this or not.

If you did then you should refine your search. Truly, the information is out there... and here. you are actually going to have to read and take 10 minutes of your time to accomplish this, however. It really is everywhere on the net.

Don't make posts with declarative staments that are completely false if you don't want to be called out.

I do apologize for thinking you posted something similar before. There was another user making similar staements about it being impossible for us residents to open an offshore account in euros.

This link provides some useful info.

No offense intended but may I suggest a collective moment of chill? :nod:

The post was not that unreasonable and besides, members are free to comment and/or inquire (more or less) as they see fit. That's what forums are about, no?

So yeah, a little chill, and maybe less bolding too please. Thanks.

I apologize, but I am resurrecting an old thread...

Did any USA players ever receive any of their funds from QT/EcoCard?

Not all, they did send me partial payment, but still owe me a whole lot more..

Yes, I received my funds, minus about 10% due to currency conversion. I put in the request the day they opened the site back up, and received the funds about 3 weeks later.

I still have over $1000 in ewalletxpress.Have you heard anything lately about them anybody?
